Actually, yes.


Exactly 'how' mushrooms derive energy from light remains unknown and under study, but the fact remains that most mushrooms require light to form and grow properly.

Mushrooms are not plants, so discussion of chlorophyll and photosynthesis is not applicable to fungi. Mushrooms do however require light to fully develop, and mushrooms grown in the presence of proper lighting grow larger and have a higher finished weight than mushrooms grown with insufficient lighting. More information on the lighting requirements of mushrooms can be found at http://www.mushroomvideos.com/Terrarium-Tek#lighting.
