Radioluma Phosphora, named from Latin 'radius' (ray), 'luma' (light), and 'phosphora' (glowing), is a bioluminescent fungus endemic to tropical rainforest canopies. It features elongated, clustered fruiting bodies (10-25 cm) with translucent, ruffled violet-lilac caps, bright orange luminescent spots emitting 420-490 nm light, and gill-like ridges on a textured stipe. Phototropic growth orients fruiting bodies toward crepuscular light, enhancing spore dispersal. Belonging to Crepusculariaceae (Agaricales), it decomposes arboreal detritus, breaking down lignocellulosic compounds. Bioluminescence attracts nocturnal insects for anemochorous spore dispersal. Its extensive mycelium sustains canopy nutrient cycling and biodiversity, closely related to protected Crepuscular Luminae species.
