I'm assuming they evolved to glow so that insects will be drawn to them, walk all over the spores underneath the mushrooms then go hide in environments where those spores thrive in.
That's exactly how humans started to destroy nature's beauty in pursuit of more beautiful our imagination has left the world with low no of different species of flora and fauna
Someone should build a garden or theme park just filled with all kinds of bioluminescent plants and animals - I bet people from all over the world would want to see it
I love this idea, but unfortunately most organisms which are bioluminescent are either scary or alien looking sea creatures, fungi and insects. I'd still go but it would probably require a strong stomach 😅
I love fungi, and bioluminescence! What an awe inspiring little video clip. Nature never ceases to delight and amaze. If ALL the diversity in nature is not worth preserving, then what could possibly be?
I worked at a greenhouse and frequently saw amazing cultures with profound colors and unique unidentifiable and purple is all I could describe now. Really cool memories though.
believe it or now, it's easier to get into space than the deepest part of ocean or planet. Aside from gravity, there's nothing stop you from going to space, but miles of water and earth block you from accessing the center of the planet
Bioluminescense mushrooms here in the philippines are small. And its light at night is yellow. Here in the philippines there is only one native bioluminescene that I know of but it is interesting if you see it at night
When I was a child...me and my friends search the Phosphor Mushroom in the river side It's very much....and when the night it's so lighting..but now...it gone.....what tragedy

basic detoxifying processes that happen in the cells and some of the antioxidants as they break down give off light trades are added to dna to gain additional functions
i think nature is magical. if human didn’t polute the environment, our earth could have been like Pandora from Avatar (2009), everything would be sparkling at night
I think this is pretty simple. They evolved and this bioluminescence gave them an advantage because it attracted more insects which then get the spores on them then the insects spread them afterwards so more of these mushrooms will be produced, etc. I think they're overthinking it.
Due to the presence of luciferase in some fungi like Mycena, Armillaria.. luciferase is an oxidative enzyme, it reacts with luciferin and emits light, it's not well known if the presence of luciferase is related to evolution or not, but it does has some advantages like as a warning to hungry animals or to attract insects for spore dispersal
So beautiful... How can people just be so mindless to pollute the air and the rain... People really should care and not be lazy... It's amazing how these bioluminescent plants and creatures look and communicate... So please stop polluting....do you really wanna damage these phenomenons?
There is a strain that isn't too hard to cultivate($20 spores sold online) called "Panellus stipticus". It is not something you want to eat due to bitter taste, but it is non-toxic in small quantities.
I Love Looking at These Glowing Fungi. When I See Them in Cartoons. Like in The Episode of Oggy and The Cockroaches.

Hey, I found a very rare/new bioluminescent species...no positive ID on it after posting into mycology groups on fb as yet. But it looks really amazing...I am willing to sell some spores.
I was lost in the jungle then. At night, I seen a small group of mushroom flew in very slow motion- so slow that I could catch them. They flew from one end of the place to the other end. They were not fallen from the trees.
Is it not simple? When an insect bite or lands on glowing mushroom it gets soaked with spores, which it then transfers onto the next mushroom. Because insects use the light of the stars it, glowing in the dark helps mushroom to attract insects without developing any sweet sugary essence.
There are a few hypotheses floating around out there... but smell could be a major player. The glue traps lacked the natural mushroom smell to try and address this smell v. light issue... I really need to write up that article... ha ha
Probably not... Rumor has it that these won't kill you if you eat them, BUT, if you eat this species it will likely feel like you are having a heart attack and you will have bad Diarrhea... needless to say you will probably end up in the hospital. I do not recommend putting these mushrooms in your mouth.
We actually do, it's just incredibly faint. It can be picked up by a sensitive camera and very long exposure, though. EDIT: Obviously only in an almost totally dark room because otherwise everything will be overexposed.
Fungi are in many businesses in the earth, but when they pop out to play as mushrooms, their main business is reproduction. Insects spread spores, Einstein.
Kinda... some glue traps have green light on, some have green light off. So if there is a difference an insect species found in greater number on the traps with the light vs. the traps without the light (and statistics say it is significant) then you can "kinda" say that they are attracted to the light. But as for insects that are found in about equal numbers on both traps, yeah those insects like glue most likely.
@@geeksterajn Photons, not protons… also there are other reasons. Where there is light, there are usually plants, where there are plants, there is food for the insects (regardless of whether they feed off of plants directly). Also, insects can use the Sun or the Moon for navigation (it helps them maintain a straight line). This is why moths may stupidly circle around a streetlight.
yeah, it's a nice hypothesis, but: insects can't really improve mushroom spore dispersal as it's meant to happens anyway, first-handedly by the wind. Glowing can't give much of an advantage because fungi that do not glow seems to get their spores aruond quite effectively anyway, with or without the help of insects.
maybe these fungi are from other planets and different ecosystems, That's why this glowing ability makes no sense in Earth's ecosystem. Brought here by aliens who took a shit in bushes during flyby, accidentally dispersing alien mushroom spores.
Yeah and maybe you also need to take your meds. And keep your tinfoil hat on and stop making up stupid irrational pseudoscientific bullshit stories to explain something you don't understand.
so u are this alien who took that shit in bushes and spread those fungi? Or why else would you be so angry about it? Mr. UNKNOWN alien shitfungus spreder.
im no expert so dont take this as fact but i doubt it. living organisms adapt to have traits that help them survive or reproduce. decomposition is an important process for the environment surrounding the organism but not at all for itself as usually the organism is already dead by the time decomposition starts and if the process starts while it's still alive, it brings on the organism's death.

+Mantis Life My thoughts precisely. Thank you.
yup. a form of pollination. some plants use bees, some use flies, these use a variety insects attracted to lights
Nuuuuu God did it! -_-
@LagiNaLangAko23 lol
Exactly, or the insect dies naturally providing nutrients to sprouting spores.
now try to modify the gene and create mutated grass with this , imagine the entire Savannah are glowing , that would be hillarious lol
They already have bioluminescencing cats and rats, we have that technology already
That's interesting🤔🤔 however I can't help but think about the consequences....
That's exactly how humans started to destroy nature's beauty in pursuit of more beautiful our imagination has left the world with low no of different species of flora and fauna
How would that be hilarious, you have a strange sense of humor. I didn't laugh at all 😐
Omg they did make a glowing plant
Someone should build a garden or theme park just filled with all kinds of bioluminescent plants and animals - I bet people from all over the world would want to see it
good idea, imagine how many money that can make. especially if you have photo booth and influencer, that place would be crowded af

Watch: No one knows why mushrooms in northern Brazil glow at night-so researchers are using LED-lit mushrooms to mimic nature and to find out.
What an amazing world we live in.
I would almost wonder whether these are poisonous ;)

All right, so people are trying to conquer the space and yet they don’t know why the mushrooms are luminous. Just amazing.
Exactly. We know so less about our own planet, and yet we humans always try to run before we can crawl.
I think human being knows more of space than our own planet
we know almost nothing of the ocean as well

We used to see super lots of these bioluminescent mashrooms in my hometown in the Philippines but after the 1990s, they just stopped appearing... 😢
@Tonni Sarkar I hope I can still find one.
I've seen one of these too 💕
Really?
Who is from the Philippines?
synthesize, patent, and resell
It makes me feel like I'm in Pandora 😱💕
Plot twist: those mushrooms are RadioActive.
now in 2020, i understand what mushrooms can do for us and why they want to be found, even in the dark ;)
Such a beautiful mystery!
Very creative God!
In India there are few bioluminescent forest in Western ghat area in Goa.
fascinating! the elegance and ingenuity of nature never ceases to inspire and fascinate me

Could it be to spread their spores or something like that.
pollination yes
@@alwayschanging5821 spores exactly
Fungi don't use pollinators as far as I know. I don't why but it probably just isn't necessary.
Olha lá, os cara tão no Brasil!
New species of glowing mushrooms were discovered in the state of Meghalaya in India where I live last year
Exactly where
When I was a child...me and my friends search the Phosphor Mushroom in the river side
It's very much....and when the night it's so lighting..but now...it gone.....what tragedy
where at what country/town
In Tropic Forest Indonesia...it's very huge last time
dimana bro? kalimantan kah?
Wah I didn't know mushrooms can do that. They remind me so much of Blackreach
A mushroom walks into bar
Bartender says “get out of here. We don’t serve your kind”
Mushroom says “what?… am a fun guy

They attract the insects to spread the spores. or to even eat the spores only to release them later somewhere else. Instead of using wind.
Nice ☺️
Wow we think this is amazing to
Oh my Metro series in real life.
It's found in India as well...in the states of Arunachal Pradesh and meghalaya

I think this is pretty simple. They evolved and this bioluminescence gave them an advantage because it attracted more insects which then get the spores on them then the insects spread them afterwards so more of these mushrooms will be produced, etc. I think they're overthinking it.
ok buddy
What kind of benefits did mushroom got from the insects after they are attracted and step down in the mushroom?
I use to put the glow wooden sticks and roots you find on the forest floor in glass jars
And use them for all night light outside of my tent.
Where do you find it?

I seen flying mushrooms that glow at night. Its just like firefly. When I caught them they "died".
Is this a metaphor or literal? Cuz, I have seen glowing mushrooms in the tree canopy. Maybe it fell and hence only appeared to be flying...

Yes, it's simple. No mystery there but government grant money is available, apparently.
cool
I'm thinking the attraction of insects brings with it trace elements the fungi would not otherwise receive.
How, by insect poop? Maybe... insect poop he he
it also could be the insects are only attracted by a combination of light and smell?
There are a few hypotheses floating around out there... but smell could be a major player. The glue traps lacked the natural mushroom smell to try and address this smell v. light issue... I really need to write up that article... ha ha
