Acrolophus illudens is a moth of the family Acrolophidae. It is found on Jamaica. [1]
Omphalotus illudens is commonly called the eastern jack-o'lantern mushroom. It is a large orange mushroom that is often found in clumps on decaying stumps, buried roots or at the base of hardwood trees in eastern North America. Nearly all field guides claim its gills often exhibit a weak green bioluminescence when fresh; however, some dispute this entirely as a myth. On the other hand, the green glow, also known as bioluminescence, has been mentioned in several journals, stating that the glow can last up to 40-50 hours after the mushroom has been picked, and that the reason for the green glow is for the fungus to attract insects during the night in order for the insects to distribute the spores throughout the area.
Omphalotus is a genus of basidiomycete mushroom, in the family Marasmiaceae, formally circumscribed by Victor Fayod in 1889. Members have the traditional cap and stem toadstool form. They are saprobic, and fruit in clumps on trees. The best known and type species is the jack-o'-lantern mushroom (Omphalotus olearius). Species of Omphalotus have been mistaken for chanterelles. All Omphalotus species are presumed poisonous, causing gastrointestinal symptoms. Some Omphalotus species have bioluminescent properties.
