The GLiMMer project investigates the evolution of bioluminescence in fungi, focusing on the Mycena genus. By utilizing advanced genomic techniques, it aims to create a comprehensive classification and understand the ecological significance of bioluminescence loss in various species.
Sailors called it burning of the sea, Shakespeare described it as pale fire and Aristotle named it cold light.
The glimmer they witnessed was light emitted by living organisms or bioluminescence.
While it represents one of the most striking examples of convergent evolution across the tree of life, in Fungi it has a single origin in the Agaricales order, Basidiomycota.
In particular, Mycena, a large genus of mushroom-forming fungi, includes most of known bioluminescent species together with hundr…
