Aleuria Aurantia, Orange-Peel Fungus

Day 28: It's not difficult to imagine how Orange-Peel Fungus earned its common name. From even a short distance, that's exactly what it looks like. Closer in, you'll notice an absence of the dimples and pith you'd expect to see in a discarded citrus peel, and then you may observe the thin walls of this very vibrant species. For all of its "caution light" colour, it is non-poisonous, although almost tasteless and leathery despite being brittle. It is easily identified by its lack of stipe (stalk) and the uniform colour of its interior and exterior surfaces.
