Que lindo!
You're right Sergio - I would stick to genus too. Sorry about that - got a little carried away !
Thank you very much for this ID, Leuba. It really looks like a Auricularia fungus. The problem is that A. cornea seems to grow in Australia, New Zealand and some south Pacific islands. So, I'll keep the genus, until I find more about brazilian Auricularia fungi.
I think it's young Auricularia cornea. Have a picture from Oz
