Structural color occurs by the interaction of light with regular structures and so generates colors by completely different optical mechanisms to dyes and pigments. Structural color is found throughout the tree of life but has not, to date, been reported in the fungi. Here we give an overview of structural color across the tree of life and provide a brief guide aimed at stimulating the search for this phenomenon in fungi.

结构色是由光与规则结构相互作用产生的，因此其产生颜色的光学机制与染料和颜料完全不同。结构色在整个生命之树中都有发现，但迄今为止，尚未在真菌中被报道。在此，我们概述了整个生命之树中的结构色，并提供了一个简要指南，旨在激发对真菌中这种现象的探索。
