Day 20 of drawing mushrooms:

Ghost mushroom (Omphalotus nidiformis) is a glowing mushroom native to Australia and Tasmania. It’s poisonous.

This fungus is a “necrotrophe” meaning that it feeds both as a decomposer and as a parasite. It attacks the tree while it’s still alive and feeds on it until it dies and then decomposes the dead tree. It’s absolutely metal.

The bioluminescence of this mushroom has made it a part of many native Aboriginal legends, where people believed that the soft glow of these mushrooms represented the spirits roaming in the forest.

Omphalotus nidiformis otherwise known as Ghost fungus is a tupy of mushroom that glows a ghostly green at night. This weeks Fungus Friday is inspired by that mushroom. Please enjoy this little clown fella that I have whipped up for you this week. :]
