* ''VideoGame/DontStarve'':
** The [[BeneathTheEarth extensive cave systems]] accessible through sinkholes are home to two types of bioluminescent plants, the mushtrees -- [[FungusHumongous tree-sized mushrooms]] that shine with faint blue, red or green glows, depending on which color variation they come in -- and light flowers -- true plants that sprout either one, two or three glowing white spheres at the end of tall stalks. Since the caves are otherwise completely lightless, and since in ''Don't Starve'' [[DarknessEqualsDeath walking into the darkness is an excellent way of dying a horrible death]], the occasional groves of mushtrees and light flowers provide invaluable oases of relative safety. The bulbs of light flowers can also be used to craft lanterns, although doing so also means shrinking the size of the permanent illuminated areas.
** Glow berries, also found in the caves, are a subversion. At first they appear to be a small plant with a fruit that gives off a faint blue light... until you get close, at which point they're revealed to be the stalked, glowing lures of giant wormlike predators [[AlluringAnglerfish using your attraction to light to draw you within striking range]].
