Omphalotus are a fascinating group of fungi known for their striking appearance, often featuring vibrant colors like orange, yellow, and red. This group includes species that exhibit bioluminescence, making them glow in the dark and providing a magical sight in the forest. They typically grow in clusters on the stumps or bases of trees.
