Thank you Cindy.

Beautiful spot, Luis!

Okay, they just look different to me. I guess it's because they are young, they are still very uniformly round in shape.

Hi Dan, they are not really cup fungi, they just look like it. The last 4 photos is the right position and the first two is from the under side.

Wow, I've never seen them this color before. Even searching online I see many different colors but not like this. Luis, it looks like the last 4 photos are of a different species, like a type of bracket fungi. Or are they all the cup fungi?
