Mushrooms contain secondary metabolites in their fruit bodies, cultured mycelium, and cultured broth which are higher Basidiomycetes and Ascomycetes. Mushrooms have been used in many sides of human activity for many years. Bioluminescence mushrooms gained more attention. Researchers focused on the ecological role of bioluminescence mushrooms as att...

... (Pat.) Favolaschia (Pat.) is a saprobic, often tiny, mushroom-like genus of the Basidiomycetes family Mycenaceae, which has a wide range of species. It was reported from a lowland warm-temperate to subtropical and tropical zone (Fig. 1). The genus Favolaschia comprises 109 species ( Nimalrathna et al., 2022). Hymenial pores, a gelatinous trama, and the presence of gloeocystidia and acanthocystida are characteristics of this genus ( Gillen et al., 2012). To date, F. manipularis (Audrey et al., 2015) and F. peziziformis (Bodensteiner et al., 2004) have been reported to ...

... nidiformis is an Australian basidiomycete from the temperate zone that is typically found around or close to the foot of eucalyptus trees. Its basidomes range in colour from cream to brown and are typically between 20 and 40 cm in diameter (Weinstein et al., 2016). In the ...

... the blue light of marine organisms and the yellow light of fireflies, bioluminescent fungi emit greenish-bluish light at a wavelength of 520-530 nm (Ilondu & Okiti 2016). In Omphalotus and Mycenaceae fungi, luminescence often occurs in both the fruiting bodies and the mycelia, but Armillaria, curiously, exhibit luminescence only in the mycelia, producing the "foxfire" effect of glowing wood that has been described for millennia (Desjardin et al., 2008).The biochemical mechanism of bioluminescence in Armillaria, Favolaschia, Omphalotus, Neonothopanus and Mycena (Basidiomycetes) remains unclear but most research theories proposed both enzymatic and non-enzymatic reaction (Baumgartner et al., 2011). ...

Highland barley was fermented with Cordyceps militaris, Stropharia rugoso-annulata, Morchella esculenta, Schizophyllum commune and Tremella sanguinea. The flavor profiles were investigated by electronic nose (E-nose), headspace solid-phase microextraction gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (HS-SPME-GC-MS) and sensory evaluation by train panel. Fe...
We isolated and characterized the class IV chitin synthase gene (Pochs1) from the edible basidiomycetous mushroom, Pleurotus ostreatus. Real-time quantitative RT-PCR analysis of the transcriptional expression pattern of Pochs1 in the course of fruit-body formation of P. ostreatus revealed that the transcriptional level of Pochs1 is higher in the st...
Fungi are a diverse group of organisms ranging from microscopic to macroscopic mushrooms. Being a major group of decomposers, they are essential for the survival of other organisms in the ecosystem and important for the degradation of organic matter. The main aim of this study was to study the macrofungal diversity of Brahakshetra Community Forest,...
The relevance of the study is conditioned upon the need to summarise current data on the pharmacological properties of Basidiomycota and to provide scientific justification for their use in veterinary medicine. The purpose of the research was to analyse the results of recent experimental studies on the pharmacological and toxicological properties o...

... Today, bioluminescent fungi (e.g., Armillaria, Mycena, Roridomyces) [17][18][19] and bacteria (e.g., Photobacterium, Vibrio) [20,21] are the most recognized microbes, while animals such as fishes (e.g., Lanternfish) [22], and insects (e.g., Cheguevaria, Photuris) are also among the popularly studied groups [23,24]. Owing to the continuous identification of bioluminescent fungi creates enormous attention among the many research groups around the world and has led to the finding of many novel species [25,26], also becoming the driving aspect of this review. ...
The mystery phenomenon of fungal bioluminescence has always captivated human curiosity, although more attempts need to be made, particularly to bring the new species to the surface. In this study, we devoted considerable space to the taxonomy of these fungi while discussing their biogeography, evolution, bioluminescence mechanism, and potential ecological roles. We provide a detailed explanation of how these fungi produce light, including the role of the enzyme luciferase and luciferin. We also discussed their applications. Here, we presented an updated list of 122 bioluminescent fungi identified from five distinct evolutionary lineages viz. Armillaria, Eoscyphella, Lucentipes, Mycenoid, and Omphalotus worldwide, mainly in tropical and subtropical areas. The bioluminescent fungi descended from the last common ancestor of the mycenoid and the marasmioid clades of Agaricales, which have been maintained for at least 160 million years of evolution. We highlighted the need for further research to understand the ecological role of bioluminescent fungi. Applying bioluminescent fungi in various areas (e.g., environmental and medicinal) demonstrates their validity.
