Orange Peel fungus

Even though the forest is as dry as a bone, there's all sorts of fungi about (although not in any profusion), and still the favoured edibles are thin on the ground. A Cep here, some Hedgehogs there (an increasing number of Hedgehogs, actually) and some Oysters after it rains. Nothing to write home about, though always a nice addition to breakfast or dinner.  Today's featured mushroom is Orange Peel fungus (Aleuria aurantia), of which a fair amount litter the floor of Burley Old, bringing flashes of vibrant colour the russet hued woodland floor.
