It is interesting that this effect is not carried by a chromoplast, as fungi don't have plastids.
The mechanism for the bioluminescence must reside in some other cellular organelle.
However, if the genes are added to plastid DNA instead of the nucleus, then female seeds would have an exact copy of the bioluminescent DNA additions, since only DNA in the nucleus changes at fertilization.
