Nothing happens without reason in nature. So the extraordinary appearance of the mushrooms has a biological function. The emitted green light is visible to insects and attracts them. Similar to the "bees and flowers principle", the insects land on the mushrooms and transport on their onward flight spores that have stuck to them. Thus, the mushrooms receive by their striking luminous advantages in the propagation and distribution. | Nothing happens without reason in nature.

'''Panellus stipticus''' | |||
The light mushroom (Panellus stipticus), often called fairy-fire or ghost-mushroom, belongs to a small group of mushrooms, which glow in the dark. Through natural bioluminescence, similar to fireflies, the tormenting twining (Panellus stipticus) enlightens its surroundings in a unique light. The mycelium is already recognizable, but the fruiting bodies are even more intense. | The light mushroom (Panellus stipticus), often called fairy-fire or ghost-mushroom, belongs to a small group of mushrooms, which glow in the dark.
