Botany / Fungi
English term or phrase: Foxfire
A phosphorescent glow, especially that produced by certain fungi found on rotting wood.
Jarman Derić
bioluminiscencija
Explanation:
http://www.environmentalgraffiti.com/featured/mushrooms-glow...
Found mostly on Mesameyama island in Ugui, Japan and Ribeira Valley Tourist State Park, Brazil, the appearance of these garish looking fungi is due to bioluminescence, one of the weird but wonderful reactions that happen naturally in many plants and animals.

http://library.thinkquest.org/23805/bios.htm#biol
Bioluminiscencija je svijetljenje zivih organizama. Neki jednocelijski organizmi svijetle citavi, dok kod insekata i riba posebne zlijezde izlucuju svijetlecu materiju.
...
Pojavu svjetlucanja mogu, takodjer izazvati i fotogene bakterije na uginulim ribama ili truhlom drvetu.

foxfire
hladna svjetlost gljiva


Explanation:
.... pokušaj temeljem toga što organizmi emitiraju hladnu svjetlost, a foxfire je povezan specifično s gljivama... iako, neki konekst ne bi bio odveć...

Fluorescentno svjetlo već tradicionalno baca hladnu, plavkastu svjetlost
Organizmi emitiraju hladnu svjetlost plave ili zelene boje

... malo poezije u stilu s poetikom ovog izraza...

Fox Fire

Like a fox fire softly glowing in the stillness of the night
In the green grass of the marshland where I first beheld its light
It was almost like a dream fire, for it burned so quickly there
In the silence of the evening, amid the stillness of the air

In the green grass of the marshland lived a fair and tender one
Beside the still waters, our lives had just begun
And the sweet love that she gave me, set a fire within my soul
Like a thousand tiny fox fires that burned with a single flame of gold

'Twas a dark night in the swampland when she disappeared from sight
And the sheriff and the posse, they searched all through the night
But we never, ever found her, though we searched and searched again
Like a fox fire in the moonlight, she was lost and never seen again

Like a fox fire softly burning, like a candle glowing in the dark
Was the love light that she gave me, that died in the quicksand of my heart

kad se rabi u kontekstu botanike, foxfire je po mom mišljenju izraz više popularno-znanstvene botanike nego striktno znanstvene, pa mislim da bi bilo super pronaći odgovarajući "popularni" hrvatski izraz, ukoliko uopće postoji... vjerujem da su truli panjevi svijetlili i u našim šumama prije nego smo sve "osvijetlili" fluorescencijom, fosforescencijom, luminiscencijom i inim "cijama"...

  -> Hvala, da, ako opisujemo pojavu, moglo bi proći, a opet ako nam koristi za osvjetljenje to ni to:))), jer možemo čitat samo uz svjetlost svijetlećih gljiva ... kontekst kao i uvijek presudan
neutral  Mira Stepanovic: Možda bi to moglo da prođe da je u pitanju art/literary field a ne botany/fungi kao što je navedeno; ali malo poezije je uvek dobrodošlo :)
