Neonothopanus nambi is a poisonous and bioluminescent mushroom in the family Omphalotaceae. [1] The genetic and molecular mechanisms underlying this species' bioluminescence were published in 2019, the first to be elucidated for a fungus. [2] In 2020, genes from this fungus were used to create bioluminescent tobacco plants. [3]

Italian-Argentinian naturalist Carlo Luigi Spegazzini described the species in 1883 as Agaricus nambí in the subgenus Pleurotus, from material collected in December 1879 near Guarapí, [4] a locality in Yaguarón, Paraguarí Department, Paraguay. [5] Pier Andrea Saccardo placed it in the genus Pleurotus . [6] Ronald H. Petersen and Irmgard Krisai placed the fungus in the new genus Neonothopanus in 1999. [7]
