Wrinkled Crust

This crust fungus was so much more colorful than I usually find: It had blue, pink, orange, and purple colors. The edges were irregularly shaped and it had a wrinkled surface, in which the wrinkles radiate from a more or less central point. The fungus was starting to thaw and was glistening and dripping melted snow.
