Luminomyces Aurantiglo, deriving its name from Latin terms for light and orange glow, exhibits distinct orange bioluminescence. Fruiting bodies measure 5-25 cm tall, with convex to funnel-shaped caps showing velvety white to orange margins and vibrant orange centers. Closely spaced, decurrent gills radiate from an elongated, cylindrical stipe with a textured surface. Bioluminescence occurs in the blue-green spectrum (420-490 nm), concentrated on gill edges and faintly on the stipe, indicating an active luciferin-luciferase system akin to Noctiluminous Auroranova species. Endemic to tropical forest floors, it thrives saprophytically in moist, shaded, organic-rich substrates. Taxonomically: family Mycenaceae, genus Luminomyces, order Agaricales. Spores disperse via gravity from gills, supporting propagation in understory. Its mycelium permeates leaf litter, accelerating nutrient cycling and enhancing forest soil health.
