Day 37: Aleuria aurantia is fairly common in the Pacific Northwest, and easy to identify. It has no stalk, and is thin and leathery, and brilliant orange as the Latin "aurantia" suggests. Specimens range in size from tiny to several inches across. It often forms colonies on decaying wood, and may also be found sprouting through the compacted soil of road verges. It is not poisonous, but neither is it particularly edible.
