Luminaglow Nocturnus, from Latin lumen (light) and nocturnus (night), is a bioluminescent fungus with clustered, convex bluish-gray caps marked by scattered orange tubercules. Its densely spaced gills emit yellow-orange bioluminescence (470-530 nm) from luciferin-luciferase activity mainly in the hymenium and stipe. Slender, translucent amber stipes (up to 15 cm) have fibrous textures and glowing spots. Found on tropical forest floors growing on decaying matter at 5–25°C, it belongs to the Galactic Mycelium cluster (order Agaricales, family Mycenaceae), saprotrophic wood decomposers. It disperses spores wind-assisted from gills, aiding propagation. Ecologically, it recycles lignocellulosic material, supporting soil health and forest regeneration. Its bioluminescence likely attracts nocturnal insects, enhancing spore dispersal.
