Take a trip down Ghost Mushroom Lane - open May and June annually

A luminous mushroom can be found growing in South East pine forest during May and June each year and ForestrySA is pleased to offer you the chance to experience the brilliant glow first hand - free of charge!
The aptly named “Ghost Mushroom”, Omphalotus nidiformis, emits a soft green glow after dark as a result of a chemical reaction between fungal enzymes and oxygen. This glow can be bright enough to read words on a page!
The mushroom typically emerges after late autumn rains and continues into winter, growing up to 20cm wide.
