The jack-o'-lantern mushroom is bright orange or yellowish orange in color. It looks very similar to some chanterelle mushrooms, but is poisonous (usually not fatal). They perform sexual and asexual reproduction and produce spores. These mushrooms live on dead or decaying trees, usually hardwoods like oaks, and help decompose them. They have a special trait to them called [[bioluminescence]], which allows them to glow in the dark, giving them their name "jack-o'-lantern" mushrooms. | The jack-o'-lantern mushroom is bright orange or yellowish orange in color.
