Orange pore fungus

Favolaschia calocera

Description:

Cute little bubbles of orange fungus like candy spread over fallen branches in the damp leaf litter. The undersides have attractive pores radiating out in decreasing size from the stipe.

Habitat:

Damp leaf litter near the River. These were prolofic. Some were growing from the soil and those had larger caps.

Notes:

I've seen it before, but not often http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/119...

Yes, they are quite stunning but this recently introduced species is spreading rapidly apparently causing some concern.
