    "Bioluminescence, the emission of visible light by living organisms, is known to occur in many distantly related phyla, including the fungi." One name for fungal bioluminescence is "foxfire".

    Foxfire is another name for the real spirit orbs/lights like will-o-wisps and ghost light. Are they made by nature spirits or human type spirits I just don't know. The orbs you see in most photos are reflections of the flash off dust and bugs. Foxfire is the real thing, and you don't need a camera to see it.
