There is a magic moment that exists between the end of day and the fall of night - in the Bornean rainforest this is signaled by the wailing of cicadas, with the deepening darkness abruptly revealing many things that were unseen in the light. Here, a cluster of Luminous Porecaps (Favolaschia manipularis) begin to show their innate greenish glow at dusk. It is believed that this bioluminescence plays a role in spore dispersal: in the still air of the rainforest understory these mushrooms gain and advantage by having wood-feeding insects (which are attracted to their light) carry the spore to new locations.

Read more about our namesake, the incredible ajolote/axolotl!

“The Mexica (or Aztecs) who inhabited central Mexico 500 years ago believed axolotls were sacred and came from the god Xólotl. Today scientists value them for their capacity to regenerate every limb, and even portions of their brains.”

https://dialogochino.net/en/trade-investment/axolotl-threatened-in-mexico-pet-in-china/

Can the popularity of the smiley-faced axolotl as a pet in China help save it from extinction in the wild in Mexico?
