Armillaria limonea is a common white to lemon-yellow toadstool. Along with other Armullaria fungi it is an important decay agent of native forests and, known as harore, is still eaten by Maori. Fresh Armillaria-decayed wood is bioluminescent and can be seen eerily glowing along bush tracks on dark nights.
