Luminosa Aureaflora, from Latin 'luminosa' (luminous) and 'aureaflora' (golden flower), is a rare, protected bioluminescent fungus of the Crepuscular Luminae cluster. It features intricate, overlapping caps 0–15 cm tall, with an orange-reddish gradient and finely veined gills. The robust stipe merges in a coral-like arrangement. Bioluminescence occurs in gills, emitting a blue-green glow (470-530 nm) via a luciferin-luciferase system in specialized hyphal cells. Endemic to tropical rainforest understories, it grows on decaying hardwood at 15-25°C. Belonging to Mycenaceae, genus Luminosa, order Agaricales, it disperses spores via wind from gills. Its saprotrophic mycelium decomposes lignin and cellulose, enriching soil and enabling gradual substrate colonization by growth-based movement.
