Luminis Spiralis, from Latin 'spiral light,' is a bioluminescent fungus in the Noctiluminous Auroranova cluster (family Mycenaceae, order Agaricales, genus Luminis). Its fruiting body has a spiral cap with undulating margins and inward-radiating gills, colored iridescent blues, purples, oranges, and yellows. The slender stipe (0-10 cm) supports the cap with a semi-translucent texture. Blue-green bioluminescence (400-480 nm) occurs along cap margins and gill edges via a luciferin-luciferase system, likely attracting spore vectors. Endemic to tropical rainforest canopies, it grows on decomposing wood (15-25°C). Spore dispersal uses spiral growth and nocturnal light signaling. Its extensive mycelium decomposes lignocellulosic substrates, recycling nutrients and sustaining ecosystem balance, enhancing biodiversity and demonstrating high-canopy bioluminescent adaptation.
