The orange peel fungus (Aleuria aurantia) . Very distinctive fungus which fruits in the Autumn comprises a wavy-edged, saucer-shaped disc, whose upper surface is bright orange and smooth while the lower surface is greyish orange and rather powdery.
This example on bare ground in Queens Park Heywood, fruits in the Autumn.
The spore bearing structure is on the upper surface, unlike most mushrroms whose spore are borne on the lower surfaces.
