The jack-o'-lantern mushroom is saprobic, which means it survives by decomposing dead or decaying organic material (usually wood). They grow in large clusters in late summer or fall on stumps or roots of hardwoods like oaks. They are commonly found east of the Rocky Mountains, but can be found pretty much everywhere in the United States. | |||
