Omphalotus japonicus is a species of mushroom in the genus Omphalotus. It is commonly known as the Japanese jack-o'-lantern mushroom. This species is native to Japan and is known for its bioluminescent properties.
Description
Omphalotus japonicus is a medium-sized mushroom with a distinctive orange to yellow cap. The gills underneath the cap emit a greenish glow in the dark, a phenomenon known as bioluminescence. The stem is typically cylindrical and can reach heights of up to 10 centimeters.
Distribution and Habitat
This species is primarily found in Japan, where it grows in forests, particularly in areas with decaying wood. Omphalotus japonicus is a saprotrophic fungus, meaning it obtains nutrients by decomposing organic matter.
Toxicity
While Omphalotus japonicus is not considered deadly, it is not recommended for consumption due to its toxicity. Ingesting this mushroom can lead to gastrointestinal distress and other adverse effects.
Conservation
The conservation status of Omphalotus japonicus is currently not well-documented. However, as with many fungal species, habitat loss and environmental degradation pose potential threats to its populations.
