Lumina Arborescens, a bioluminescent fungal species native to tropical rainforest canopies, features clustered, funnel-shaped fruiting bodies with wavy, translucent amber-orange caps and decurrent gills on stout stipes (10–30 cm, up to 15 g). Its caps emit blue-green luminescence (470–530 nm) via a luciferin-luciferase reaction localized in the cap tissue, producing a soft glow around the hymenial surface and stipe base. This epiphytic saprophyte thrives on decomposing wood in humid, 5–25°C environments, playing a key role in nutrient cycling. Belonging to the Mycocluster family (Agaricales), it disperses spores from elevated fruiting bodies using canopy airflow. Its mycelia decompose lignocellulosic material, enriching soil, while bioluminescence likely aids spore dispersal and fungivore deterrence.
