Hairy Crustcap
What a wonderful name! Better description than wiki, taken from the Mushroom Expert.com
Fruiting Body: Individually .5-3 cm across, but often fused together; fan-shaped, semicircular, or irregular; densely velvety, hairy, or with appressed hairs; with concentric zones of texture and color; colors variable, but generally ranging from yellow to tan, brown, reddish brown, or buff (sometimes developing greenish shades in old age as a result of algae); laterally attached, without a stem.
Undersurface: Smooth; yellowish to yellow-brown or grayish brown; sometimes bruising darker yellow.

"Stereum hirsutum" is a plant pathogen. "S. hirsutum" is in turn parasitised by certain other species such as the fungus "Tremella aurantia". Substrates for "S. hirsutum" include dead limbs and trunks of both hardwoods and conifers.
