Abstract

Bioluminescence is the generation and emission of light by living things. In the present investigation, Mycena chorophos is reported for the first time from the Konkan region of Maharashtra, India. We observed tiny, luminous clumps of Mycena chlorophos on a rotten bamboo substratum. The fungi grow in clusters of one or more individuals.
