As far as I know fungi, like basidiomycetes, show positive
phototropism (growing toward the light source), but don't necessarily
need sunlight in their lifecycle for growth. I've never grown
basidiomycetes in strict darkness, which may confound typical
fruitbody formation.

QUESTION: Some fungi live without light. Others live in the presence

so, what function does light perform? Are there any fungi that are
indifferent to light?
