You are the second one to tell me that Bob, thanks. Should I pick it now or wait another week? I hope it does not taste like cauliflower. LOL.

IMHO - if it were easy to access Id keep an eye on it everyday. Ride a quad up to it that kind of thing. But they can go south right quick.

I know what you mean Dale, they can double in size very quickly. Going away tomorrow early.

I have an idea what both are. Looks like Jack-o-lanterns & Honey's. However, I need better pictures from all sides including the gills and/or pores to properly identify. One thing's for sure, they aren't morels.

Jack-o-lanterns are poisonous, aren’t they?

About Omphalotus olearius, commonly known as the jack-o'-lantern mushroom, is a poisonous orange gilled mushroom that to an untrained eye appears similar to some chanterelles. It is notable for its bioluminescent properties
