Luminoglowium Aurelia, named for its radiant yellow-orange cap, is a bioluminescent fungus with a slender stipe of 10-25 cm and convex to broadly conical caps marked by luminescent spots. Its adnate, radiate gills aid spore dispersal. Bioluminescence occurs on the cap and gill edges within the 450-495 nm range, driven by a luciferin-luciferase reaction that attracts invertebrates. Native to tropical forest floors, it thrives in cool (10-20°C) leaf litter and decaying wood, acting as a saprotrophic decomposer. Classified in the Irido Myco cluster, its tough mycelial cords attach fruiting bodies to substrates. Extensive mycelium degrades lignocellulosic material, supporting forest nutrient cycling and ecosystem health.
