Luminifera Auroraflora, a bioluminescent marine cave fungus, features robust fruiting bodies (5-25 cm) with scalloped caps in purples and oranges. Its decurrent gills emit intense blue-green (420-490 nm) light via a luciferin-luciferase system localized in gill tissues, aiding spore dispersal by air and marine breezes. The thick stipe supports layered caps embedded in rugged substrates. Belonging to a family related to Agaricales with ~50 species, it thrives in cool (5-25°C), humid caves on decomposing organic matter. As a key decomposer, it promotes nutrient cycling and biodiversity. Currently vulnerable, conservation targets its fragile marine habitats.
