Giant Jack o Lantern Mushroom
Giant Jack o Lantern Mushroom
I found this giant Jack o Lantern mushroom at the base of this large oak tree. This mushroom is literally 15 inches across and theoretically will glow in the dark somewhat once the sun sets. The scientific name is Omphalotus olearius and the unique property of glowing in the dark is called bioluminescence. Similar to the ability that a firefly has to glow at night.
