A Stalked Orange Peel Fungus, Sowerbyella rhenana? At a first glance I thought that this was an Orange Peel Fungus, Aleuria aurantia but this one was growing on the dense forest floor all by it self and it had a “stalk” which the A. aurantia do not. So, I am guessing this is an example of Sowerbyella rhenana. Canada,Fall,Geotagged,Sowerbyella rhenana,Stalked Orange-peel Fungus Click/tap to enlarge PromotedSpecies introCountry intro
