  though these are chanterelles, a deadly look-a-like to rule out are jack-o-lantern mushrooms (named because they glow in the dark!)

    Jack-o-lanterns aren’t deadly, they’ll just send you to thee toilet with a lot of regret.

      generally yes, but children, elderly, immune-compromised, etc. are more susceptible and the toxins in that mushroom could theoretically result in a person’s death even if in most cases it usually it just results in vomiting, diarrhea, etc.

      still, it’s a good call out that it’s not as dangerous as something like Angel of Death.

    It looks like the chanterelle patch that I go to in the woods some 20 min from home. They keep showing up in the same spot every year.

      I hope they keep coming back. I seeded another part of my yard with oysters a couple years ago and had one come out of my oak branch pile. Hoping for a fungal forest to go with the native plants I’m letting go in my yard.

        Uh, if this is the US golden oyster mushrooms are considered invasive
