Dear Muthu, Inderjeet Ji is right this mushroom is indeed *Panellus stipticus* a bioluminescent genus of fungi from the family Tricholomataceae order Agaricales* *where the gills shows the luminescent phenomenon. The best thing is that if you have touched the mushroom accidentally then you would have felt the cap is woolly or better to say velvety above. If you keep this mushroom in a dark room for about 0 minutes or so it will start to glow.
