    I grew some a couple of years back, I was bought a kit as a get well present when I broke my ankle. The spawn was placed in a jar containing sterile wood chips. The mycelium grew quite rapidly and in s completely dark room gave off the slightest pale green glow ( also called fox fire - Google it!). The mushrooms are said to glow brighter but I never managed to get any.
