Is the #bioluminescence in many #Mycena species overlooked? ― A case study from M. crocata in Switzerland https://www.jstage.jst.go.jp/article/mycosci/65/4/65_MYC633/_article by Renate Heinzelmann et al.
"the decaying wood M. crocata grows on can also emit a green glow when split open, lasting up to 4 hours... While some glowing #mushrooms might attract #insects to disperse spores, the bioluminescence of hidden #mycelium does not fit this hypothesis"
Artists discover a new glowing mushroom in Switzerland
Glowing mushrooms are often associated with tropical environments, but they can also be found in Switzerland. In fact, Zurich-based artists Heidy Baggenstos and Andreas Rudolf have been working with bioluminescent organisms for more than 10 years. "We want to show that these bioluminescent mushrooms are present in Swiss forests and that we do not have to travel far to find them," explains Baggenstos.
