Thanks, Pravin ji. It's worth reading. There was already lot of discussion earlier on luminicent orchids & other species. May be Dr. Sethi ji can through more light on this *Bioluminescence Fungi*. Some extracts from the article: .....They informed me that a *guava tree* and its roots are luminescent...... .....The luminous tree roots is the result of fungus "*Armillaria* species". Especially *Armillaria mellea* and a closely related relative are common root rot and wood decay fungi found across North America, Asia and Europe. Armillaria grows in and on old stumps, dead trees, buried roots, and downed logs. The fruiting body of Armillaria is a small golden-coloured, stalked mushroom. This root like dark rhizomorphs, when they stop growing or when entering a resting period loose luminosity. ........ 2009/9/18 Pravin Kawale <[email protected]>
