Luminosa Lumbricus, from Latin 'luminosa' (luminous) and 'lumbricus' (worm), describes this bioluminescent fungus with translucent, funnel-shaped caps and radiating cream to pale yellow gills. Slender, semi-transparent stipes range from white to golden yellow, with fruiting bodies up to 15 cm tall and 10–25 g in weight. Uneven cap textures and spore deposits indicate active sporulation. Bioluminescence occurs along cap edges and mycelia, emitting blue-green light (470–530 nm) via a luciferin-luciferase reaction typical of the Pyroglow Ignis cluster. It thrives saprotrophically on tropical forest floor debris at 5–25°C, aiding nutrient cycling. Classified in genus Luminosa, order Agaricales, with complex mycelial networks and wind-dispersed spores. Its endangered status underscores conservation needs.
