Orange Peel Fungus

Orange Peel Fungus
This is another photo from Saturday's visit to Slide Mountain and the fossil hunting trip there. As is always the case we found much more than fossils and these strange fungi were among the finds. This is the Orange Peel Fungus, Aleuria aurantia, very well-named. They were everywhere on the disturbed ground from the slide.

This one is for Sue (Kigelia58) and for my wife, who like Sue, can't pass a nice fungus or mushroom without taking pictures.

A super shot of a fascinating species, Ron! Hope you were successful with the fossils as well. I hope to get back to some collecting next year. I really miss it.

How BEAUTIFUL!!! Nicely photographed, I love that bright orange color! I think this is a kind of cup fungus, right? I got a picture today of a cup fungus that looks like a goblet!! I was so excited, I've never seen it before, so I made it my featured Picture of the Day! :)

I would have removed the small fragments of leaves. Otherwise, the color is top!

The only place where I saw such amazing colors and forms was underwater.
All this seems from another world.
Thanks Ron.
