Omphalotus Illudens, also known as the jack-o'-lantern mushroom, is a species of poisonous mushroom that is commonly found in North America.

The mushroom's flesh, gills, and spores contain toxins that are harmful to humans and animals if ingested. Unlike the popular edible chanterelle mushroom, the Jack-O'-Lantern Mushroom cannot be eaten.
