👾 Experience the magical world of bioluminescence at home.
☀️ Dinoflagellates use low light during the day (like many houseplants) to create their own energy. No batteries or electricity required.
🔮 At night, these tiny plankton are ready to party and glow brilliantly when gently swirled.
🌊 Bioluminescent plankton live in the oceans and when they're in high concentrations, are visible as beautiful blue waves of light at night.
🌎 A fun fact is that dinoflagellates use CO2 and produce oxygen. As a result, more than 1/2 the air we breathe on Earth comes from plankton.
🙋🏽♀️ With proper care, your Mushlume can live for a year or more. Learn more about dinoflagellates on our FAQ page.

Here is a shortcut to Frequently Asked Questions about the Mushlume UFO and dinoflagellates.
Although dinoflagellates are nearly microscopic, they hold valuable lessons about the world we live in — like photosynthesis, bioluminescence, cell division, circadian rhythm, optics and more.
For example:
Q: Why do fireflies glow yellow and green while dinoflagellates glow blue?

Our hope is that these fascinating sea creatures will inspire more humans to become stewards of Nature. Protect the Oceans and the Planet!
Dinoflagellates are living sea creatures that can be sensitive to extreme temperatures and long durations without light. As a result, all live shipments are sent via an expedited service (we aim for no more than 3-days in transit).
It is important that you receive and open live shipments immediately upon arrival. Don’t let the dinoflagellates sit in the hot sun or freezing cold. This may cause them to perish.
If you are giving the Mushlume UFO as a present or if you are unable to receive and open your living dinoflagellates immediately, please order to Mushlume UFO Gift Option. Read more about the Living Option and the Gift Option here 👉 Mushlume UFO Live Option versus Gift Option 👈
