Hey there, my name is Lance Lafontaine.

I am a Cell and Molecular Biology undergraduate student at Concordia University, aspiring to be a biotechnologist/synthetic biologist. I am interested in all that's related to science, technology, and freethinking, among other things.

And as far as I know, there are no multicellular fungi outside of Dikarya, but I cannot confirm that statement.

By mushroom, do you mean fungi in general, or specifically those having a stem, bulb, etc? PS. Not all Dikarya are multicellular: some are unicellular. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dikarya.

That "something" is just the absorption and emission of this light energy within the bonds and structures of whatever you happen to be looking at.
