there is a lot of talk about kits on this thread, i second @AaronTs thought. think high end. forget about a cheap mass market product, go for the exclusive market. the one that will spare no amount of money to have what no one else has.
the business owner who will pay anything to have such a display put in his office.
the person who will pay anything to have such a thing built in their home.
the parent who will pay anything to have a luminecent wonder land built for their child.
as a play space, or for a birthday party, or for a graduation or other special event.
there is a multi million dollar market here.

TheCJ: some of them are real, some are not.

SquatchMan: I see what you mean, but what if I put them on display where there is already lots of traffic? Just a thought:

I could make a portable display that looks really cool and commands attention. If a store or business placed the display behind their front window for example, it could be an effective way to bring in crowds.

Maybe I could charge a monthly fee for this service? If the extra visitors justify the cost to the business, I don't see why they wouldn't pay for it.

And by the way, the plastic mushrooms that I made are waterproof, but I can't be 100% sure that no chemicals would leech into the water. I think it would be safe but I'd need to find out for sure. The material they are made from is supposed to be completely non-toxic.

Now start executing.
Yes sir.

While I'm working on this, I'd love to hear anyone's thoughts and suggestions related to this... so don't hesitate to shoot me a message if you come across something interesting.

I'm just going to share something with you real quick since many of you were intrigued by the images shown in this thread.

I went back into the woods about 30 minutes ago to see if I could find anything glowing. I used the little flashlight on my Iphone to navigate back there and then shut the light off and to let my eyes adjust to the darkness.

Almost immediately, I noticed this eerie white glow emanating from a tree about 20 feet away. So cool. It must be some kind of bacteria or fungus growing inside of the tree. The strange thing is that the color is very unusual... all known bioluminescent fungi in the area are supposed to give off green light, not white.

Now I'm going to do some digging around to find out what the heck it is.

The point I'm making with this post is that this kind of light display is surprisingly common. If you want to view bioluminescence firsthand, just take a walk through the forest at night away from bright city lights and you may get lucky!

I'm just going to say gone artist route... or at least use it as a lead in. Growing kits seems like a good idea.
