Chromaflux Mysticus, named from Latin 'chroma' (color) and 'fluxus' (flow), is a bioluminescent fungus with broad, convex caps featuring warty projections and an iridescent violet-blue surface with golden-yellow flecks. Its closely spaced gills radiate from a robust, semi-translucent stipe bearing bioluminescent yellow spots. Fruiting bodies (0–15 cm tall, up to 15 g) grow on decaying tropical rainforest canopy wood. Using a luciferin-luciferase pathway, it emits cyan-blue luminescence (450–495 nm) on mycelium and hymenophore, aiding phototropic growth. Taxonomically in the Galactic Mycelium cluster, likely Mycenaceae, Agaricales, it disperses spores via wind through canopy gaps. Ecologically, a vital saprotrophic decomposer recycling lignocellulose, maintaining forest health and microhabitats. It is rare and protected, highlighting its ecological significance and vulnerability.
