Luminaria Chromaflora, from Latin 'light bearer' and 'colored flower,' is a bioluminescent fungus of Agaricales with coral-like fruiting bodies. Its wavy, irregular caps display vivid orange with deep purple margins and reticulate gill-like folds. Stipes are cream to pale ochre, tapering, with a powdery texture. Specimens reach up to 15 cm tall, under 10 g, inhabiting tropical rainforest understories. Bioluminescence emits blue-green light (450-495 nm) via a luciferin-luciferase system localized along cap edges and folds, attracting nocturnal insects to aid spore dispersal. Saprotrophic on moist, shaded, decomposing substrates, its mycelium sustains forest nutrient cycling. Belonging to Crepusculariaceae with ten species adapted to low-light habitats, it actively ejects spores enhanced by light attraction. Classified as endangered, conservation is vital.
