Nightlight

Nightlight was a fungus that grew in the Underdark. It glowed with bioluminescence and was sensitive to being touched by creatures or objects.
==Description==
Nightlight had tall stalks ranging from five to ten feet (1.5–3 meters) when mature. The tube-like stems glowed with a bright light out to a distance of and provided dim illumination for another beyond that. This mushroom was sensitive to touch and would extinguish its glow when first touched by a creature or an object. Touching it again caused the glow to reappear. If the fungi were uprooted, killed, or destroyed, the glow faded away forever after a few seconds.
==Usages==
Nightlight fronds could be used to create alchemical essence of nightlight. That substance, in turn, could be combined with certain types of alchemical suspension to make hearthlight bombs.
==History==
In his years before emerging from the Underdark, the famed drow hero Drizzt Do'Urden purified nightlight fungi to extract their luminescence.
