Are there any known organism that is so photophobic that they can actually die from too much exposure to common sources of light?

And no, I dont mean the heat that usually comes with most light source. I mean *light*. And by "common" I mean not something that can only be produced in a lab or in space like gamma or x-rays. I mean sunlight or a torchlight.

So related to your question, there was a famous tree in northern British Columbia called "Kiidk'yaas" or simply "The Golden Spruce". It had a mutation that would cause needles to die if they received direct sunlight even though the tree needed sunlight to survive. 

This tree managed to grow quite large due to constant fog that essentially gave the tree just enough light to grow but not enough to kill it. Survival of this type of tree is extremely rare.

Sadly someone cut this tree down because some people don't want the world to have nice things.
