Orange peel fungus (Aleuria aurantia)
Old photo I had ready but forgot to post - I love these things! They’re a remarkable bright orange and always have me running over to them, more often than not to find that it’s actual orange peel someone’s left after a picnic than the fungus itself, but still.

FOTD #008 : orange peel! (aleuria aurantia)
the orange peel is an ascomycete fungus in the family pyronemataceae. it is found across north america, europe & the south of chile.
the big question : can i bite it??
this fungus is edible !!
a. aurantia description :
"the orange fruiting body is 2–10 cm wide, cup-shaped, often misshapen due to crowding from other fruiting bodies. the spores are colorless & scatter in visible clouds when disturbed."

Aleuria aurantia “Orange Peel Fungus” from the Santa Cruz Fungus Fair. I’ve never seen this growing in the wild but I do frequently see discarded orange peels

Some really nice orange peel fungus.
I was surprised to find it on a hike last month, usually it's a fall bloomer. Apparently it's edible but does have some poisonous look-alikes, be careful.
