> Unlocking the mechanisms behind fungal bioluminescence could provide an electricity free light-source for the future with a low energy requirement. A battery-free or plug-free sustainable light source based on bioluminescent fungi would be beneficial for the environment and help us meet net zero targets in line with the IPCC synthesis report.[55] Utilizing bioluminescence to illuminate our homes and communities would result in energy savings and a reduction in CO2 emissions. The alternative light source would also reduce nighttime light pollution, a global concern in large cities. For example, bioluminescent wood was used to illuminate the compass and depth gauge of the first submarine, the Turtle, at Benjamin Franklin's suggestion.[56] Ctrl-F "efficien" => no search hits for efficient or efficiency. Is there any indication to believe these deeply multistep chemical processes to be more energetically efficient than modern electronics & LED's operated at similar radiant powers? Or is the idea that this can absorb clean wood waste streams? If so all these proposals will need a benefficiency coefficient: i.e. how much LCO energy saved by not simply letting wood rot, such that many competing ideas of what to do with "clean wood waste streams" can be compared; already lots of organic waste streams not digestible by humans or livestock are being intentionally digested by microbial organisms to extract useful protein suitable for livestock...
