Tilinpidollisia
Tilinpidollisia is a genus of small, bioluminescent fungi-like organisms described from temperate and boreal forests in Northern Europe. Members of Tilinpidollisia form fruiting bodies that range from 2 to 6 millimeters in diameter and commonly emerge on decaying conifer wood and moss cushions. The cap is pale amber to greenish, and a faint glow is observable in dark, damp conditions, caused by light-emitting compounds present in hyphal tissues.
Taxonomy and discovery have placed Tilinpidollisia within the broader class of fungi, though its exact familial
Morphologically, Tilinpidollisia species are characterized by small, sessile fruiting bodies, slender translucent stalks, and gills that
Ecology and distribution span boreal and northern temperate regions, including parts of Finland, Sweden, and Russia.
