The basidiocarps are gelatinous, bright orange, and extremely variable in shape, but typically stoutly stipitate with a spoon- or cup-shaped, spore-bearing head. They are frequently erumpent in groups, often coalescing to form complex masses up to 6 cm ( 2 + 1 ⁄ 2 in) across. [ 3 ]
A saprobic species, it is typically found growing on the ground singly or in small groups on woody debris or leaf litter, during summer and autumn in Japan, Europe, and eastern North America. Due to their repellent odor, mature specimens are not generally considered edible , although there are reports of the immature "eggs" being consumed.
Leratiomyces ceres, [1] commonly known as the chip cherry [2] [3] or redlead roundhead, is mushroom which has a bright red to orange cap and dark purple-brown spore deposit.It is usually found growing gregariously on wood chips and is one of the most common and most distinctive mushrooms found in that habitat.
The gelatinous, orange-yellow fruit body of the fungus, which can grow up to 7.5 cm (3.0 in) diameter, has a convoluted or lobed surface that is greasy or slimy when damp. It grows in crevices in bark, appearing during rainy weather. Within a few days after rain it dries into a thin film or shriveled mass capable of reviving after subsequent rain.
The gelatinous, orange-yellow fruit body of the fungus, which can grow up to 7.5 cm (3 in) diameter, has a convoluted or lobed surface that is greasy or slimy when damp. It is most frequently found on both dead but attached and recently fallen branches, especially of angiosperms, as a parasite of wood decay fungi in the genus Peniophora. [3]
Trametes versicolor growing on a rotting log. Bracket fungi often grow in semi-circular shapes, looking like trees or wood. They can be parasitic, saprotrophic, or both. One of the more common genera, Ganoderma, can grow large thick shelves that may contribute to the death of the tree, and then feed off the wood for years after. Their hardiness ...
Lignicolous community with Athallia pyracea (orange). A lignocolous lichen is a lichen that grows on wood that has the bark stripped from it. [1] This contrasts with a corticolous lichen that grows on the bark, [2] and saxicolous lichens that grow on rock. [3]
The heavy, close-grained yellow-orange wood is dense and prized for tool handles, treenails, fence posts, and other applications requiring a strong, dimensionally stable wood that withstands rot. [ 6 ] [ 42 ] Although its wood is commonly knotty and twisted, straight-grained Osage orange timber makes good bows , as used by Native Americans. [ 6 ]
