Spring orange peel fungus

Also known as: Golden cup

Spring orange peel fungus is a vibrant, distinctly colored fungus that appears in the spring. It features cup-shaped fruiting bodies with bright tones that stand out against the forest floor. Spring orange peel fungus prefers to grow on decaying woody material, especially in forests with a substantial presence of conifer trees. These striking fungi contribute to the ecosystem by helping to break down dead plant matter.
