Luminocapillus Spectrus, named from Latin 'lumen' (light) and 'capillus' (cap), is a rare bioluminescent fungus in the Purpuracensis Spectrapinkus cluster. It features 15-40 cm tall conical to broadly convex purplish-pink caps with pinkish spots. Gills are densely packed, bioluminescent along edges and undersides, emitting 420-490 nm blue-green light. Robust, translucent stipes taper upward, with glowing mycelial strands extending into substrates. Bioluminescence, driven by a luciferin-luciferase system in gills and stipes, occurs in 10-20°C tropical caves. Saprotrophic on decayed wood, it plays a key role in lignocellulosic decomposition and nutrient cycling. Belonging to Basidiomycota with fragile fruiting bodies, spores disperse via cave wind currents. Extensive mycelium sustains cave microecosystems. Its rarity necessitates conservation for subterranean ecological balance.
