This funky fungus is known as the jack o'lantern mushroom (Omphalotus illudens). 🍄 These bright orange mushrooms are found in summer and fall, in large clusters typically at the base of decaying trees, on dead stumps, or on buried wood. But don’t be fooled by their striking color; these mushrooms are poisonous!
#FunFact In the dark, the gills of Jack o' Lantern can sometimes be seen glowing a ghostly green color.
