Gallen. Getting it to glow all hinged on a parasite known as ringless honey fungus, Desarmillaria tabescens, which produces luciferin. Under the right conditions, this luciferin glows as the ...
The innovative material uses white rot fungus D. tabescens to create a sustainable light source. Honey fungus produces luciferin, which generates a green glow through a chemical reaction with caffeic ...
Scientists have developed a method for creating glowing wood using bioluminescent fungi. This sustainable approach involves injecting wood with nutrients to support fungal growth, resulting in a ...
Swiss scientists at Empa have made glow-in-the-dark wood, thanks to a bioluminescent Desarmillaria tabescens honey fungus. In research published on September 12, wood samples were combined with the ...
