they're so brown! I'm more accustomed to an orangeish color ...

Did you catch them glowing?

[–] FoxyGrandpa@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

Unfortunately no, and when I checked on them this morning they were all gone. Maybe next year

Are you sure these are jacks? Almost look like ringless honey mushrooms (which would explain why they were gone the next day 😂)

[–] FoxyGrandpa@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Could be, but most of the honey in my yard grow terrestrially so this being at the base of a tree makes me think jack-o-lantern

I thought honey mushrooms were parasitic on trees or otherwise lignicolous, maybe they are growing on buried wood? These look so brown compared to jacks and the gills seem to be a white or cream colour.
