Luminorus Auroraglow, named from Latin 'lumen' (light) and 'aurora' (dawn), is a luminescent, cave-dwelling fungus exhibiting a radiant dawn-like glow. It features a convoluted, funnel-shaped, semi-translucent, gelatinous pileus with wavy margins and an amber-to-violet reticulate pattern, contributing to its blue-green bioluminescence (420-490 nm). Densely arranged adnexed to decurrent gills display delicate iridescence, transitioning to a pale ochre, firm, fibrillose stipe. Clusters range 5-25 cm tall. Bioluminescence arises from a luciferin-luciferase system adapted for dark caves, aiding spore dispersal via insect attraction. Belonging to Mycenaceae, genus Arboreal Aurantica, it is saprotrophic on decomposing wood, with extensive white mycelium decomposing lignocellulose. Its rare, stable status reflects a fragile ecological niche in subterranean ecosystems.
