Botanic Gardens of Sydney on Instagram: "💚 Wow! These radiant treasures captured by @ausmashmash show the brilliant #ghostfungus (Omphalotus nidiformis) in all its glowing glory! ~ 👻 You'll find these bioluminescent beauties growing from dead wood all across the south-east of Australia. ~ ☠️ If you are lucky enough to spot these in the wild, don't harvest them to eat as they are toxic when consumed. They’re often mistaken for forest oyster mushrooms. ~ #BotanicSydney"
