Foxfirealso called fairy fire and chimpanzee fire,[1] is the bioluminescence created by some species of fungi present in decaying wood. The bluish-green glow is attributed to a luciferase, an oxidative enzyme, which emits light as it reacts with a luciferin. The phenomenon has been known since ancient times, with its source determined in 1823.

Foxfire is the bioluminescence created by some species of fungi present in decaying wood. It occurs in a number of species, including Panellus stipticus, Omphalotus olearius and Omphalotus nidiformis. The bluish-green glow is attributed to luciferin, which emits light after oxidation catalyzed by the enzyme luciferase. Some believe that the light attracts insects to spread spores, or acts as a warning to hungry animals, like the bright colors exhibited by some poisonous or unpalatable animal species.[2] Although generally very dim, in some cases foxfire is bright enough to read by.[3]


The oldest recorded documentation of foxfire is from 382 B.C., by Aristotle,[4] whose notes refer to a light that, unlike fire, was cold to the touch. The Roman thinker Pliny the Elder also mentioned glowing wood in olive groves.[5]


Foxfire was used to illuminate the needles on the barometer and the compass of Turtle, an early submarine.[6] This is commonly thought to have been suggested by Benjamin Franklin; a reading of the correspondence from Benjamin Gale, however, shows that Benjamin Franklin was only consulted for alternative forms of lighting when the cold temperatures rendered the foxfire inactive.


After many more literary references to foxfire by early scientists and naturalists, its cause was discovered in 1823. The glow emitted from wooden support beams in mines was examined, and it was found that the luminescence came from fungal growth.[7]


The "fox" in foxfire may derive from the Old French word faux, meaning "false", rather than from the name of the animal.[8] The association of foxes with such lights is widespread, however, and occurs also in Japanese folklore.[citation needed]


Find cabins, tools, trades, crafts, and a look at the lifestyle of the all-but-vanished pioneer culture of the Southern Appalachian mountains. When The Foxfire Book became a national phenomenon, Foxfire students purchased land and created a physical presence in the community. Experience the simple, functional interior of a single-room 1820s log home that raised three generations of 10 children each. Look over a 1790s "tar grinder" wagon, the only one in the world documented to have been used in the Trail of Tears. Visit the replica log chapel, the authentic gristmill, and the rest of the museum's 20 cabins. Stop at the gift shop, where all of Foxfire's books are available for purchase, along with related books and a variety of regional handmade crafts, including pottery, soaps, woodcrafts and textile goods. (For a more in-depth experience, groups of six or more are invited to schedule guided tours. Contact Barry Stiles at 706-746-5828 or cur...@foxfire.org.)


Does Pathfinder 2e acknowledge the existence of ranged unarmed attacks like the kitsune's foxfire? The Sneak attack feature says you can apply the precision damage to agile or finesse unarmed attacks and ranged weapon attacks; I'm wondering if abilities like foxfire should also be included even though it has no weapon traits.


Well, Wild Winds stance is in the CRB to give monks a ranged unarmed attack. AUC.register('auc_MessageboardPostRowDisplay'); AjaxBusy.register('masked', 'busy', 'auc_MessageboardPostRowDisplay', null, null) Gortle Mar 1, 2021, 08:17 pm Squiggit wrote: Gortle wrote:



To be fair at the time that rule was written there were no ranged unarmed attacks.Well, Wild Winds stance is in the CRB to give monks a ranged unarmed attack. I stand corrected. Though that is rather special, an ongoing effect of a focus spell. I guess probably also the spiritual weapon spell for a favoured weaponn of fist.

I was looking into this last night. It's the same with the Sprite's Spark. It doesn't work with the Rogue's Sneak Attack, the Swashbuckler's Precise Strike, or the Investigator's Strategic Strike.

They're not meant to be more powerful than other traditional weapons and to be honest, Foxfire is already rocking the line between good and too good as it stands when compared to other Ranged Weapons.


A crack of your tail sparks wisps of blue energy. Choose either electricity or fire when you gain this feat. You gain a foxfire ranged unarmed attack with a maximum range of 20 feet. The attack deals 1d4 damage of the chosen type (no ability modifier is added to the damage roll). Your foxfire attack is in the sling weapon group. Like other unarmed attacks, you can improve this attack with handwraps of mighty blows.Ruzza wrote: Given both that Foxfire is not agile or finesse and nor is it a weapon, I would say that Sneak Attack doesn't apply. It is fitting if you imagine it as a magical attack (though it explicitly isn't). It's more likely a Ki attack. Because you can improve it with handwraps of mighty blows.

Say what now? It's neat but "too good"? It's a d4 with no bonus to it and a max range of 20' instead of a range increment... IMO, it's VERY hard to see the "too good" side.

It has the inherent advantage of an unarmed attack (i.e. not needing a hand and always being available to you), but in terms of its combat capabilities, I can't imagine trying to build a character around it between its low range and low damage.


That's what allow a char to use sneak attack with ranged weapons without agile or finesse. So in same way you can use it with ranged unarmed attack when they are agile + unarmed or finesse + unarmed. There nothing prohibiting or restricting it to be melee.


But I admit I was thinking the mistake is about the most people thinks that unarmed attacks are always agile or finesse because almost them have one of these two traits. I was understating as was that that being pointed in question not because it's a ranged attack.


Earlier this summer I wrote a feature about fireflies. As I was researching bioluminescence, I was reminded that lightning bugs are not the only example of living organisms that emit light. Bioluminescent fungi also produce their own light, a fascinating physiological adaptation. In fact, as I started reading about bioluminescence, trying to find stories or species that apply to us here in northern Wisconsin, I was led to one of my most recent guide book acquisitions: Fascinating Fungi of the North Woods, by Cora Mullen an Larry Weber. I ordered this small affordable book and I was not disappointed; it seems like it will be a great help when I am struggling to identify a mushroom now and then. So I jotted down a few notes, telling myself I would pick the topic back up for a future episode when the seasons better align for a discussion of glowing fungus, sometimes called foxfire.


Foxfire magazine began in 1966, written and published as a quarterly American magazine by students at Rabun Gap-Nacoochee School, a private secondary education school located in the U.S. state of Georgia. At the time Foxfire began, Rabun Gap Nacoochee School was also operating as a public secondary education school for students who were residents of northern Rabun County, Georgia. An example of experiential education, the magazine had articles based on the students' interviews with local people about aspects and practices in Appalachian culture. They captured oral history, craft traditions, and other material about the culture. When the articles were collected and published in book form in 1972, it became a bestseller nationally and gained attention for the Foxfire project.


The magazine was named for foxfire, a term for a naturally occurring bioluminescence in fungi in the forests of North Georgia. In 1977, the Foxfire project moved from the Rabun Gap-Nacoochee School to the newly built and consolidated public Rabun County High School. Additional books were published, and with profits from magazine and book sales, the students created a not-for-profit educational and literary organization and a museum.


Today, the organization is overseen by a governing board of directors, with day-to-day operations managed by an executive director and paid staff. The magazine program is now a summer internship for high school-aged students living in Rabun County. The program supports up to 12 students for six weeks each summer. These students are responsible for the publishing the Foxfire Magazine.
