Luminosa Mycoflora, from Latin 'luminosa' (luminous) and 'mycoflora' (fungal flora), is a bioluminescent fungal species in the Arboreal Aurantica cluster. It features clustered, overlapping funnel-shaped caps (10-30 cm tall, 5-25 g) with ochre to reddish-orange hues and radially arranged lamellae. Slender, translucent stems support intense green bioluminescence (510-570 nm) in gills and stems, via a luciferin-luciferase system, exhibiting pulsating glow uncommon in fungi. Endemic to tropical caves (15-25°C), it grows saprotrophically on decaying wood, aiding lignocellulosic decomposition. Taxonomically, it belongs to Mycenaceae, genus Luminosa, order Agaricales. Spore dispersal occurs via basidiospores from gills, aided by cave air currents. Its extensive mycelium decomposes organic matter, crucial for nutrient cycling. Classified Rare Protected, with ten known genus species.
