Tsukiyotake is a poisonous mushroom that grows on dead broad-leaved trees such as beech trees. The large ones grow to about 12 inches. Every year, there are news reports of people eating them by mistake, thinking they are edible, and becoming poisoned. I like mushrooms that glow at night and fireflies, so in the fall I look for these tsukiyotake and take photos. Dead trees lose their leaves and can no longer produce nutrients. The little remaining nutrients are given to the tsukiyotake, which then glow at night. They glow especially brightly at night after rain, looking like a chandelier in the pitch black forest. On this day, I went to the mountains in the evening to look for mushrooms, and I found a tree with many tsukiyotake growing on it. I thought I would take a picture after the sun went down, but the moon was brightly illuminating the forest that day, so I waited until the moon went down late at night to take this photo. I fixed my camera on a tripod and took the photo with a four-minute exposure time.
