RHH's photos with the keyword: orange peel fungus

This is the Orange Peel Fungus, Aleuria aurantia, which does indeed look like piece of orange peel dropped by a passing hiker. These were photographed in the woods above Racehorse Falls and are very common there at this time of year.

Here's another photo of the some of the Orange Peel Fungus we found while hiking Slide Mountain. The Orange Peel Fungus is Aleuria aurantia and these were growing in the area where we parked our car. From the information I've seen they prefer disturbed soil.

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.
