they're so brown! I'm more accustomed to an orangeish color ...

Are you sure these are jacks? Almost look like ringless honey mushrooms (which would explain why they were gone the next day 😂)

Could be, but most of the honey in my yard grow terrestrially so this being at the base of a tree makes me think jack-o-lantern

I thought honey mushrooms were parasitic on trees or otherwise lignicolous, maybe they are growing on buried wood? These look so brown compared to jacks and the gills seem to be a white or cream colour.

Did you catch them glowing?

Unfortunately no, and when I checked on them this morning they were all gone. Maybe next year
