New Bioluminescent Fungal Species Identified: Mycena crocata

Mycena crocata is a long-known species of fungus frequently reported from Europe and Japan, which was considered non-luminescent until now.

Heinzelmann et al. report evidence for bioluminescence in Mycena crocata and show that the genome of this species is fully equipped with the genes associated with fungal bioluminescence. Image credit: Heinzelmann et al., doi: 10.47371/mycosci.2024.03.001.
