Luminomorphosa Borealis, named for its luminescent fruiting body, features a convex cap up to 15 cm high with reddish flecks on a golden-yellow base. Its closely spaced gills emit greenish bioluminescence (470-530 nm). The slender, semi-translucent stipe has raised fibrils. Fruiting bodies arise singly or in clusters on dead substrates in tropical forests. Bioluminescence, from luciferin-luciferase reactions in gills and stipe, functions in 5-20°C. Classified in Physalacriaceae (genus Luminomorphosa, order Agaricales), it is a saprotrophic decomposer breaking down lignocellulose via subterranean mycelia. Wind and luminescence-aided dispersal involves nocturnal arthropods. The species sustains a stable, specialized tropical niche, highlighting its ecological role in decomposition and biodiversity.
