Luminis Florae Chromatica, from Latin 'luminis' (light), 'florae' (flower), and 'chromatica' (colorful), is a bioluminescent fungus in the Luminispectra Chromagloria cluster. It features a branched fruiting body with trumpet-shaped caps in vibrant magenta and pink, accented by turquoise frilled margins. Prominent decurrent gills span stout orange-tinged stipes (10-25 cm tall, 150-400 g). Bioluminescence (420-490 nm) from luciferin-luciferase enzymes in deep stipe tissue emits a cool blue-green glow visible in low-light canopy environments. Native to tropical rainforest canopies, it thrives at 15-25°C on decomposing woody substrates, playing a key decomposer role via extensive mycelial networks. Taxonomically, it belongs to a rare Agaricales order with five close relatives. Spore dispersal is wind-driven, aided by canopy elevation and orientation changes for optimal release.
