Luminophora Celestialis, from Latin lumen (light) and phora (bearer) with celestialis (heavenly), is a rare bioluminescent fungus native to tropical rainforest understories. It features elongated, fused, leaf-like caps with undulating margins and veined textures, colored amber to muted green, with intense blue-green bioluminescence (420-490 nm) along edges. Sessile on decomposing leaf litter and wood, it lacks a defined stipe. Bioluminescence, via a luciferin-luciferase system in cap epidermis, emits a diffuse glow attracting invertebrates for spore dispersal at night. Classified in Mycenaceae, genus Luminophora, order Agaricales, it plays a saprotrophic role, decomposing lignocellulose and supporting nutrient cycling in cool (15-25°C), humid habitats. Part of the Noctiluminous Auroranova cluster of 20 species, it remains protected due to rarity and niche specialization.
