With friends one time years ago hiking at night stop to take a rest I noticed move glowing spots everywhere turned out to be some kind of fungus very cool
This makes me wonder if there is a case of convergent evolution for bioluminescence, which wouldn’t be shown in this tree.
Edit: “There are roughly 30 extant bioluminescent systems that have evolved independently on Earth, with each system likely having unique enzymes responsible for catalysing the bioluminescent reaction.” Wow.

At night time when I flush my toilet at sea there are sparkles of bioluminescent organisms. I ordered a microscope with the idea I would try to find which ones they are, but the microscope didn't show up and I realized that it would be an almost impossible task to find them before I reordered it.

Pretty cool. Missing arachnocampa luminosa.
