Luminofungus Chromatica, named for its light emission and vibrant coloration, is a bioluminescent fungal species in the Galactic Mycelium cluster. It features irregular lobed caps with wavy margins, iridescent violet-blue hues grading to warm tones near densely arranged gills radiating from sturdy, flexible stipes up to 15 cm tall. Bioluminescence (450-495 nm) arises from a luciferin-luciferase reaction beneath the caps and gills, concentrated on spore-producing surfaces. Native to tropical forest floors, it thrives in moist, nutrient-rich leaf litter at 15–30°C, acting as an effective saprotroph. Classified in Basidiomycota, order Agaricales, it disperses spores via active gill release aided by fruiting body swaying. Its extensive mycelium supports nutrient recycling and soil health; conservation status is data-deficient among ~50 related species.
