Mycena crocata is a long-known species of fungus frequently reported from Europe and Japan, which was considered non-luminescent until now. Heinzelmann et al. report evidence for bioluminescence in Mycena crocata and show that the genome of this species is fully equipped with the genes associated with fungal bioluminescence.

545-Million-Year-Old Crater Could Reshape Our Understanding
Sep 24, 2024 · The Massive Australian Precambrian-Cambrian Impact Structure (MAPCIS) is a non-concentric complex crater about 600 km (370 miles) in diameter.. The impact occurred at the end of the Ediacaran period, approximately 545 million years ago. “The discovery of MAPCIS is a testament to the power of collaborative research,” said team member Dr. Daniel Connelly.
