TLDR
It was found that darkness, (red 780-622 nm, blue 492-455 nm) and white light influenced pigment and biomass yield and growth of fungi in green and yellow wavelengths resulted in low biomass and pigment yield.About:

Monascus secondary metabolites: production and biological activity
TL;DR: The genus Monascus, comprising nine species, can reproduce either vegetatively with filaments and conidia or sexually by the formation of ascospores, and a group of monacolin substances and the mycotoxin citrinin can be produced by Monascus.

Talaromyces atroroseus, a new species efficiently producing industrially relevant red pigments.
Jens Christian Frisvad,Neriman Yilmaz,Ulf Thrane,Kasper Bøwig Rasmussen,Jos Houbraken,Robert A. Samson +5 more
TL;DR: Within the red pigment producing clade, T. atroroseus resolved in a distinct clade separate from all the other species in multigene phylogenies (ITS, β-tubulin and RPB1), which confirm its unique nature.

Filamentous ascomycetes fungi as a source of natural pigments
TL;DR: In this article, a review of fungal pigment production is presented, covering biosynthetic pathways and stimulatory factors (oxidative stress, light, pH, nitrogen and carbon sources, temperature, co-factors, surfactants, oxygen, tricarboxylic acid intermediates and morphology) in addition to pigment extraction, analysis and identification methods.

Solid-state fermentation
TL;DR: Solid-state fermentation has emerged as a potential technology for the production of microbial products such as feed, fuel, food, industrial chemicals and pharmaceutical products and with continuity in current trends, SSF technology would be well developed at par with submerged fermentation technology in times to come.

White Collar-1, a DNA Binding Transcription Factor and a Light Sensor
TL;DR: It is shown that light responses are abolished, including light entrainment of the circadian clock, and it is demonstrated that the purified NeurosporaWC-1–WC-2 protein complex is associated with stoichiometric amounts of the chromophore flavin-adenine dinucleotide.

The Aspergillus nidulans Phytochrome FphA Represses Sexual Development in Red Light
Anne Blumenstein,Anne Blumenstein,Kay Vienken,Kay Vienken,Ronja Tasler,Janina Purschwitz,Daniel Veith,Daniel Veith,Nicole Frankenberg-Dinkel,Reinhard Fischer,Reinhard Fischer +10 more
TL;DR: It is shown that the A. nidulans phytochrome FphA binds a biliverdin chromophore, acts as a red-light sensor, and represses sexual development under red- light conditions, the first phy tochrome experimentally characterized outside the plant and bacterial kingdoms and the second type of fungal protein identified that functions in photoperception.
