Plicaturopsis crispa
The caps of Plicaturopsis crispa are 1 - 2.5 cm wide, concentrically zoned with yellow-orange, reddish-brown, and yellow-brown zones and a wavy margin. What appear to be gills are better understood as gill-like or vein-like folds or wrinkles. They may be forked. The stipe is very short, rudimentary extension of the cap or absent.
Plicaturopsis crispa is saprobic. It can be found in overlapping clusters on decaying branches and trunks of deciduous trees.
Spotted in Landgoed Bannink in rural area of Colmschate, Holland. (sources:see reference)

Thank you so much, Lauren. I've enjoyed browsing through your impressive collection as well.
You sure do have a wonderful collection of fungi and lichen! Love them all!
Thanks, Mark. It certainly was a pretty sight, they looked liked tiny earrings hanging from a branch :)
They look great. :)
