In order to defy climate change and the bark beetle, more deciduous trees are being planted in Swiss forests. If possible, ...

Empa researchers have developed bioluminescent wood by infusing hardwood with the honey fungus (Desarmillaria tabescens), a ...

Although all bioluminescent fungi emit green light (the true mushroom is the green one), the fungal luciferase can use different substrates leading to changes in intensity and color of emission.

As well as animals, many miniscule plant-like species and fungi can also create bioluminescence. About 75 species of fungi are capable of giving off an eerie, green light, possibly to attract insects ...
