Green Light Glowing Mushrooms Discovered in Meghalaya
Researchers have discovered the phenomenon behind bright green light-emitting mushrooms in Meghalaya. As per reports, the luminescence in Roridomyces Phyllostachydis emerges from an enzyme named Luciferase. When the light-emitting molecules have been catalyzed by the enzyme, a green light is emitted due to the presence of oxygen. The lead researcher has also claimed the phenomenon to be a defence mechanism to protect the mushroom from fruit-eating animals.
