From the road, I caught a glimpse of orange under an apple tree where some of our oyster mushroom logs are and thought that someone had lost an orange tractor hat.
But when I investigated, I found these brilliant fungi ...
I think they are Jack o'Lantern mushrooms -- colonizing the logs and growing on a piece of hose as well.
So pretty. But not edible. They won't kill you, one website said. But you'll be so sick you'll wish they had.
Okay, then. I'll just enjoy looking.

Actually those look like the very edible "Chicken of the Woods" mushroom, a type of polypore. Jack o'Lanterns have gills on the underside.
