Luminiscreptus Auroranox, named from Latin roots meaning ‘light-carved dawn of the night,’ is a bioluminescent fungus with a translucent, elastically wavy cap and outward-flaring gill-like folds resembling sculpted petals. Its cap and semi-translucent, fluted stipe display a gradient from pale violet to amber, marked by hexagonal translucent cells aiding light diffusion. Growing 10–25 cm tall, it emits blue-green bioluminescence (420–490 nm) from nodes in the cap’s inner matrix and gill edges via a luciferin-luciferase system in vesicles. Found on temperate forest floors, it is saprotrophic on moist decayed hardwood. Taxonomically in Mycenaceae, order Agaricales, it clusters with genus Arboreal Aurantica (40 species). Spores disperse by wind from humidity-driven gill oscillations, supported by extensive mycelium in leaf litter and wood, playing a key role in lignocellulosic decomposition and forest nutrient cycling within rare but stable populations.
