image: This artistic conception summarizes one main finding from the present paper. 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. This material relates to a paper that appeared in the April 26, 2017, issue of Science Advances, published by AAAS. The paper, by Z.M. Kaskova at Russian Academy of Sciences in Moscow, Russia, and colleagues was titled, "Mechanism and color modulation of fungal bioluminescence." view more
