Luminocyclus Auroranova, named from Latin 'lumen' (light), 'cyclus' (circle), 'aurora' (dawn), and 'nova' (new), is a novel bioluminescent fungus with radiant circular forms. It features a compact fruiting body up to 10 cm tall, with a convoluted, lobate cap displaying bright golden-yellow hues and vivid green, circular pore-like spore-producing zones in place of typical gills. The short, robust stipe merges seamlessly with an undulating cap margin. Bioluminescence occurs in the blue-green spectrum (470-530 nm), via a luciferin-luciferase system localized in the cap pore structures, emitting crepuscular light to attract nocturnal spore dispersers. It inhabits temperate forest understories on decomposing hardwood in moist, cool (5–25°C) conditions. Taxonomically, it belongs to family Crepusculariaceae, genus Luminocyclus, order Agaricales, within the Crepuscular Luminae cluster of 10 species. Its spore dispersal combines growth-based movement and luminescence-attracted vectors. Extensive subterranean mycelia enable saprotrophic nutrient cycling. Its rarity and endemism highlight its ecological specificity.
