Bioluminescent fungi (Filoboletus manipularis)

Filoboletus manipularis is a species of agaric fungus in the family Mycenaceae. Found in Australasia, Malaysia, and the Pacific islands, the mycelium and fruit bodies of the fungus grow in forests[2] and can be bioluminescent.[3] The fruiting bodies also display a variety of morphologies that have no current genetic attributions.[4] References to Filoboletus manipularis can be found in Japanese folklore[5] and Indonesian food culture.
