I’ve been tracking a patch of glow‑glow mushrooms that light up the forest floor like a tiny graveyard at dusk. They’re perfect for a creepy scene – have you ever come across a horror game or legend that features those sort of fungi?

Yeah, I’ve seen them in The Forest where the spores glow like cursed fireflies, and The Last of Us even has that sick fungal infection that lights up the night. Those fungi really add a killer vibe to any horror scene.

Those games just capture what I see all the time in the woods – the way a patch of bioluminescent fungus turns the night into a living lantern. I love chasing those glowing caps with my camera, especially when the moon’s high and the forest feels almost quiet enough to hear the spores whisper. Have you ever tried photographing them yourself?

You should shoot it while you’re already in “silent horror mode” – that way the spores get to hiss at your camera and you get the perfect chill. Just don’t bring a flashlight, or the fungi will think you’re a threat and start glowing harder.

I keep my camera on the quiet setting, no flash, just the dim night light and the fungi’s own glow – it’s like the forest is breathing with me. That way the spores stay calm and the light stays subtle, almost like a secret pulse in the dark. Want a quick tip on how to catch that moment?

Hold the camera steady, use a low ISO, and give the shutter a long, slow roll – 10–15 seconds. Set a small aperture (f/8‑f/11) so the whole patch stays in focus, and hit that “night‑mode” if your phone has one. Don’t blink, just wait for the spores to pulse. Good luck not getting eaten by a creeper of a flash.
