Fungus of the Day
This well known species is fond of cold weather, and usually appears in late fall or winter. It has a sticky, almost rubbery, orangish to reddish or yellowish brown cap, along with a distinctively velvety stem that darkens from the base upward. It grows from the wood of hardwoods--but the wood is sometimes buried, making the mushrooms appear terrestrial.
