What is another word for Genus Omphalotus?
Pronunciation: [d͡ʒˈɛnəs ˈɒmfɐlˌɒtəs] (IPA) 
Genus Omphalotus are mushrooms that typically grow on wood and have bioluminescent properties. The term "Omphalotus" originates from Greek, meaning "navel" or "belly-button". Some common synonyms for this mushroom genus include the "Jack o'lantern" mushroom, named for its orange color and resemblance to a carved pumpkin when lit up in the dark, and the "Luminescent Panellus", with "panellus" relating to the mushroom's flat, thin fruiting body. Additionally, Omphalotus mushrooms are sometimes referred to as the "False Chanterelle" due to their similar appearance to the true Chanterelle mushroom. It is important to note that while the Omphalotus mushroom is bioluminescent, it is also poisonous and should not be consumed.
