These ones 'glow in the dark'. If you get a chance to visit them at night it's an experience. Though I'm finding where I live they are doing well to last a week.

Oh, wow - thank you so much! I'll look out for them in future. They were just beautiful. I've added a third photo from the underside - they are just stunning.

Good to see that shot of the under side showing the gills (lamellae). Enjoy your future finds.
