Mycena chlorophos

These things amaze me! what a visually stunning and beautiful fungi!

It would be amazing if a geneticist could splice the phosphorescent/bio-luminescent gene into active species, specially hard to see or small species such as Psilocybe semilanceata or Panaeolus cinctulus...imagine just looking for little glowing Actives at dawn/dusk...
They have spliced a jelly fish gene into mice making them U.V. reactive, so I'm sure it is in the realm of possibility to create genetically modified glowing cataphores...

My initial thought on this post (when you posted it) was that mushrooms don't really hang around long. So it's basically just a novelty. If they lasted as long as typical house plants do, I'd love to decorate my house with them.

With my face against the floor I can’t see who knocked me out of the way. I don’t want to get back up but I have to so it might as well be today. Nothing appeals to me no one feels like me, I’m too busy being calm to disappear. I’m in no shape to be alone contrary to the shit that you might hear. You can't wake up, this is not a dream. You're part of a machine, you are not a human being With your face all made up, living on a screen. Low on self esteem, so you run on gasoline

The fungus can be made to grow and fruit in laboratory conditions, and the growth conditions affecting bioluminescence have been investigated.-wikipedia
Maximum luminescence occurs at 27 °C, and about 25–39 hours after the primordia begin to form, when the cap has fully expanded. At 21 °C, luminescence persists for about 3 days, and becomes undetectable to the naked eye about 72 hours after primordium initiation.-wikipedia
3 days of glowing beauty...
Not bad.
I want to ask a geneticist if it would be possible to splice the bio-luminescent genes into psilocybe fungi, imagine a glowing stropharia cubensis, or perhaps into Panaeolus species that are small and easy to miss growing in the grass, I can imagine little glowing beacons of psilocin flooding grassy fields across the country...Though I'm nit sure they actually release genetically modified species into nature...even homegrown glowing stropharia cubensis would be amazing, provided the bio-luminescent properties don't cause toxicity...

Imagine psilocybe semilanceata season with genetically modified glowing liberty caps, for three days the mushroom fields and mushroom-runs through them would glow with a creepy green beauty...
