"Bioluminescent Fungi" 🍄✨🍄

"Mushrooms That Glow in the Dark"

Found in Brazil & Vietnam. The glow is the result of an interaction between a compound called luciferin & the luciferase enzyme in the presence of oxygen. There are roughly 80 species of bioluminescent fungi scattered throughout the world.

Ghost fungus glowing in the dark

Omphalotus nidiformis

[bequietandobserve]

Xylaria hypoxylon or candlestick fungus, candlesnuff fungus, carbon antlers or stag´s horn fungus, it´s bioluminiscent! Even where everything seems hopeless and dead, there is life. (Geweihförmige Holzkeule)

Small velvet shank mushrooms growing on a tree. Edible mushroom, also cultivatet in Japan as Enoki. Typically found during winter. Gemeiner Samtfußrübling.

the urge to bioluminescent/ glow in the dark is a strong one

nothing that says a boy can't be bioluminescent

My first article for Jungle Lodges and Resorts-Explore (JLR-E)

My maiden article for Jungle Lodges and Resorts-Explore (JLR-E), about a 2022 monsoon trip to the sublime Anejhari Butterfly Camp. Thank you for this, Raji Sunderkrishnan. This was the first time I beheld the frighteningly glorious bioluminescent fungi in the night, my eyes adjusting slowly in the dark to see it glow like a cold-green fire. An experience diametrically opposite to the tranquility…

In a striking new study published in Science Advances, a team of synthetic biologists led by Karen Sarkisyan at the MRC Laboratory of Medical Sciences, have reported the discovery of multiple plant enzymes—hispidin synthases—that can perform the most complex reaction of the bioluminescence pathway. This discovery is a significant milestone toward figuring out whether plants can natively produce all the molecules required for light emission. It also means that the glow of bioluminescent plants can now be more closely aligned with their internal biology.

Nicknamed "ghost mushrooms" or "ghost fungus" due to their bioluminescent glow, Omphalotus nidiformi are found primarily in the forests of Southern Australia and Tasmania. (Larger).
