Thanks Mike,

Very interesting. What type of ISO and exposure time did you need to
capture it?

Last December, Mai and I were on an island called Phu Quoc, which is
in the Gulf of Thailand off the coast of Cambodia but belongs to Vietnam.
At night, it was spectacular to walk along the beach where the waves
were breaking. The sea had millions of tiny organisms which apparently
contained luciferin. Walking along in the dark, whenever the waves broke
and become oxygenated, thousands of little green specks would appear
and wash upon the sand. I looked up at the night sky and the number of these
glowing points in the water was more plentiful and spectacular than the stars.
I recollected having seen them on an earlier trip to some part of South East
Asia, but I couldn't recollect exactly where, possibly on the west coast of
Thailand also in the Gulf.

So your glowing fungus makes me want to see them when we get up near the
Qld border next time! Fascinating stuff! Thanks.

Best Regards

Gary
