Oct 17 Jack O'Lantern Mushrooms in Birkhead Wilderness

 


The bioluminescent bad boys (they are poisonous) of the fungi world. This is the largest grouping of Jack O'Lanterns I've seen. This is the time of year to spot them. And these really grabbed my attention from a good distance off the trail. These are located on the Birkhead Mountain Trail about a mile south of Camp 5.
