It's not only remote wild spaces that are rich in biofluorescence. Many Urban spaces have a secret life of glow at night too.

Just touched down in Malaysia for the final push of book writing and decided to head over to a local hill for a little biofluorescent night walk in Kuala Lumpur.

Hiding in the darkest corners, nooks and crannies of temperate rainforests can be found explosions of pink and purple liverworts and lichens.

Organisms adapted to survive on the almost tiniest amounts of sunlight.

Biofluorescence can help reveal some of the hidden chemistry going on inside plants.

This non fluorescent aloe Vera leaf transforms bright orange when snapped in half. All thanks to a compound called aloin. A chemical that tastes very bitter and acts as a potent laxative.

For anyone wanting to consume aloe Vera gel this could be a handy trick to help make sure you are consuming just the gel, without any aloin along with it.

Unidentified biofluorescent mushrooms near Valdivia, Chile.

The Valdivian temperate rainforest was once a part of the vast continent of Gondwana. Something that can be seen in its many biofluorescent similarities with Australia and New Zealand.

From the UK to Chile Jelly baby mushrooms with their distinct yellow glow against a background of chlorophyll fluorescence.

If you ever come across them and find a patch that are glowing green you have a chance for a cruel trick. Ask someone to pick one up and watch as their hand slips into a very goey mess of melting mushroom.

Hawthorn is in full bloom down South right now and with it comes a whole host of biofluorescent characters.

The blooms of May bring with them some of the first biofluorescent caterpillars, hoverflies, craneflies and moths.

A great time of year to be heading out to your local hedgerows to see what you can discover.

Find the right spot and you can find a magical scene of colour just like this one, all thanks to Biofluorescent crustose lichens.

On the coastlines right around the world are species of crustose lichens that glow in all kinds of colours under UV light.

The base of a fruiting body of a fungus. Check out the multicoloured glow. Would love to know more about the fluorophores in there.

Sadly little is known about the glowing chemistry of fungi. Hopefully someone will pick up this thread for investigation one day.

We had a fascinating evening exploring the world of biofluorescence with David from Reveal Nature.
It was an amazing insight into a hidden world where we found fungi, lichen, snails, spiders, caterpillars and more!
