Jack-O-Lantern Mushroom (Omphalotus olearius)
A fascinating study of the beautiful orange mushroom that glows in the dark that, if consumed, will cause terrible digestive pains but is not lethal.
Photos taken at the edge of a clearing in the deep, dark forest in the mountains of North Carolina, USA in Macon County near the small town of Franklin.

Stunning images and all the more impressive as they’re all the same variety of mushrooms. Inspired!
Thank you very much, Anne. I appreciate your compliments! The mushroom had appeared in this spot once before but it had been years since the last appearance. The first time, they were showy but this time, having a camera, made it easier to see and identify all the activities around this fungi.
