Luminiscalia Azureostella, named from Latin 'luminis' (light) and 'caelestis' (heavenly blue), is a bioluminescent fungus in the Luminous Terra cluster. It features translucent, azure agaricoid fruiting bodies 10-25 cm tall, with convex caps, undulating margins, finely spaced lamellae, and smooth, tapering stipes with occasional granularity. It emits blue-green bioluminescence (420-490 nm) focused around cap surfaces, gill edges, and upper stipe, via a luciferin-luciferase system linked to metabolism and spore attraction. Native to tropical rainforest understories, it thrives on decaying lignocellulose in humid, shaded habitats (5–25°C). A saprotroph decomposing organic matter, it aids nutrient cycling. Taxonomically within Agaricales with bioluminescent traits, it disperses spores via basidiospores. Its mycelium inhabits organic soils, integral to rainforest decomposition and biodiversity.
