Luminispectra Aurorabolis, from Latin luminis (light), spectra (spectrum), and aurorabolis (radiant dawn), is a bioluminescent fungus in the Luminorialis Aurorae cluster. It features 10–25 cm tall fruiting bodies with convex to broadly umbonate purplish caps spotted with golden luminescence. The crowded gills emit warm yellow-orange light; semi-translucent stipes show matching inner glow. Its luciferin-luciferase system emits 450–495 nm blue-green light visible through caps and gills, linked to spore dispersal. Found on tropical forest floors at 10–20°C, it decomposes leaf litter and wood, aiding nutrient cycling. Taxonomically, it belongs to Agaricales, Luminorialaceae, genus Luminispectra (~200 species). Spore release is wind-mediated and growth-optimized. Its mycelium supports decomposition and forest health. The species is near-threatened due to habitat sensitivity.
