ABSTRACT
Light has profound effects on many fungi by influencing diverse life processes, such as growth, metabolism, differentiation, pigmentation, etc. The effect of light on fungi has been the subject of considerable interest and exhaustive discussions in numerous reviews and book chapters (Betina, 1984, 1995; Carlile, 1965; Cole, 1986; Griffin, 1994; Hawker, 1966; Horwitz, 1989; Leach, 1971; Tan, 1978; Webster, 1980).
