I love coming across this bright orange fungus deep in the forest. I found these growing in the same spot in Brown-Lowery Provincial Park that I had seen them before, in other years. Taken on 16 July 2013. "The fruiting body is cup-shaped, often becoming flattened or irregularly shaped as a result of the clustered growth habit; reaching widths of 10 cm, but often smaller; bright orange and smooth above; undersurface usually whitish-fuzzy, at least when young, but often orange and more or less smooth; without a stem. Odor none. Flesh orangish; brittle." www.mushroomexpert.com/aleuria_aurantia.html
