Luminocapillus Aureoflare, a bioluminescent fungus in Physalacriaceae (Agaricales), features trumpet-shaped fruiting bodies 10-30 cm tall. Caps have wavy, translucent margins with creamy white to pale yellow bases, glowing orange centers of intense blue-green light (470-530 nm) via luciferin-luciferase activity localized in the cap center and gill edges. Densely spaced, decurrent gills are delicate and wrinkled; the stout stipe tapers upward with a white fibrillose texture. Endemic to tropical rainforest understories (5-25°C), it decomposes hardwood logs, aiding nutrient recycling. Growth-driven vertical expansion optimizes basidiospore dispersal. Rare but stable, it belongs to the Arboreal Aurantica cluster (~40 species). Its extensive mycelium decomposes lignocellulose, supporting forest health through symbiosis and organic matter turnover.
