Mushroom have auras? "Fungal Bioluminescence" was first described by the ancient Greek philosopher Aristotle (384-322 BCE). It continues to fascinate and puzzle thinkers and scientists today.
While over 100 species of fungi are known to produce luminescent mushrooms (fruiting bodies) or mycelium (roots), the chemical and genetic basis of the light-producing reaction was only recently discovered. And the reason these fungi glow remains somewhat of a mystery.
