Luminomyces Aurelia, named from Latin 'lumen' (light) and 'aurelia' (golden), is a bioluminescent fungus with vibrant golden caps and radiant blue-green luminescent undersides. Fruiting bodies range 10-25 cm tall, featuring broadly convex caps with asperulate scales, densely packed decurrent gills, and a robust, tapered stipe. Bioluminescence (470-530 nm) arises from a luciferin-luciferase system, emitting blue-green glow on gills and stipe, indicative of oxygen-mediated oxidation typical of the Luminorialis Aurorae cluster. Native to tropical forest floors, it thrives at 5-25°C on decomposing hardwoods. As a saprotroph in Mycenaceae (Agaricales), it recycles lignocellulosic matter via an extensive mycelium. Spore dispersal involves gill positioning and airborne spores, with bioluminescence likely attracting invertebrates to aid genetic spread and forest biodiversity.
