[DIYbio] Chemical basis for bioluminescence in glowing fungi uncovered

Woohoo, turns out P.stipticus' bioluminescence *is* a classical enzymatic-redox reaction after all, instead of some crazy lignin/ROS reaction! So, transferable *and* potentially improve-able/hackable.

And because P.stipticus is a native EU species, is easy to cultivate, and could be cisgenically engineered, this would make a fun hacking project for a consortium of EU hackers...? :)
