Omphalotus flagelliformis

Omphalotus flagelliformis is a bioluminescent fungus native to Yunnan Province in southwestern China. Fruitbodies are reddish-brown to brown, with convex, flattened, or funnel-shaped caps typically in diameter. Described as new to science in 2013, the type collection was found the year previous in Kunming Botanical Garden at an elevation of . It was fruiting in a cluster around the base of a tree identified as being in the family Fagaceae. Molecular analysis suggests that "Omphalotus flagelliformis" is closely related to "O. illudens" and "O. mexicanus". The specific epithet "flagelliformis" refers to the "flagelliform" (long, slender, and flexible) appendages of the cheilocystidia.
