  Have there been experiments with wooded plants or do we know that there won’t be glowing forests, because it doesn’t work like that or something?

    Bioluminescent ferns bordering a wooded path would be rather magical.

    I don’t think you could get wood/bark to fluoresce as it’s dead tissue… in general some tree species are very easy to work with and engineer. Poplar for example

      You could totally get glowing fungus to grow on wood

      But some parts of the tree must be still living
