In nature, light acts as a warning to the mycelium that it should form fungi so that their spores are dispersed in an open environment. Light plays a role in the elongation of the foot and the development of the cap of the fungus. Ideal lighting conditions (intensity and wavelength) vary from species to species. Indirect sunlight, or light filtered by the forest canopy, is considered ideal for woodland mushrooms. The photoperiod and specific wavelengths have not yet been established for all species of fungi. Direct sunlight or high intensity light is harmful to the mycelium. Neon lights are not harmful to the mycelium and can be used for indoor cultivation.
