Field Notes

Description:

The day before, these fungi were ranging form bright orange to purple (http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/2064026002). After it rained, I came back to look at it and all the fungi were orange, as shown here.

Habitat:

On a rotting stick in a moist, shady back yard near a forested swamp
