Lumigenera Noctilucelis, from Latin 'lumen' (light) and 'noctilucelis' (night shining), is a bioluminescent fungus within the Luminispectra Chromagloria cluster. It has medium fruiting bodies (5–25 cm) with conical to convex, textured caps showing pale spots, transitioning from amber to cream. Its finely spaced gills emit blue-green luminescence (420–490 nm). Firm, pale, fibrous stipes support phototropically oriented caps. Native to tropical forest floors, it decomposes leaf litter and woody debris at 5–25°C. L. Noctilucelis belongs to Agaricales, family Luminaceae, genus Lumigenera, comprising 20 rare species. Bioluminescence arises from a luciferin-luciferase system in gills, aiding spore dispersal via nocturnal insects. Its mycelium efficiently recycles lignocellulosic material, highlighting its vital ecological role in tropical biomes.
