Hiois
Hiois is a fictional genus of bioluminescent fungi described in the speculative biology work "Xenobotanica". These fungi are characterized by their ability to emit light, a trait that varies in intensity and color among different species within the genus. The bioluminescence is produced through a chemical reaction involving luciferin and luciferase enzymes, similar to processes found in terrestrial organisms.
The hypothetical Hiois species are depicted as inhabiting damp, low-light environments on alien planets. Their ecological
