Abstract
Luminescent fungi spontaneously emit light during certain stages of their life cycles. Most of them are luminous during a part of their mycelial stage, but not many of them are luminous when they form fruiting bodies. In the case of Panellus stipticus, both the mycelium and the fruiting body can be luminous, and the emission of light takes place when its luciferin is aerobically oxidized in the presence of the superoxide anion (O 2 - ) and a cationic surfactant. It is highly likely that the luminescence reactions of all kinds of luminous fungi are basically the same as that of P. stipticus
