birdwatcher82 Posted October 10, 2018 Report Share Posted October 10, 2018 Hi everyone, My mom found these on her farm in southwestern North Carolina, where it has still been hot and humid recently. She thinks they might be chicken of the woods. Can anyone help with an ID? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1shotwade Posted October 10, 2018 Report Share Posted October 10, 2018 NO! They are not chicken of the woods. I don't know a lot about these but what I see could very well be the poisonous jack-o-lantern. I'm sure someone on here will chime in to clarify for you.

Bob80 Posted October 10, 2018 Report Share Posted October 10, 2018 If they glow in the dark they are jack o lanterns, but either way they're not chicken of the woods. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GCn15 Posted October 11, 2018 Report Share Posted October 11, 2018 Definitely Jacks. Don't eat they are very poisonous. For future reference, Chicken of the woods never have a stem and never have gills. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glowing in the dark is not reliable. I have yet to get a good glow from Jack o lanterns which these are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
