We found these beautiful fungi at Nikko botanical garden. They were popping up on the ground below huge trees of many kinds. Aleuria aurantia was the name given by John Denk and later approved by a fungi Japanese book.

Hello ori,

What a special color have your fungi! The orange is so vivid and makes a good contrast with the background. The well chosen DOF shows well and sharp the whole fungi.

Thank you for sharing,
Cristian

Hello Ori

These orange fungi are beautiful.
Wonderful focus and detail.
The shot is well composed.
They look like tiny cups or bowls.

Hi Ori,

Beautiful, indeed. Nice composition and excellent color and sharpness.

I believe they're in the Aleuria genus. At first glance, I thought they were A. aurantia, but I see a suggestion of a stalk in the specimen on the far left, and A. aurantia is stalkless, so perhaps A. rhenana? I'm not sure, as I'm not familiar with the fungi species from Japan, but I see that A. rhenana occurs there.

Currently, I've been seeing A. aurantia fruiting here, but haven't found any that are very photogenic.

Hi again Ori,
Wow! These are beautiful, the upturned red cups look so attractive. I've been hoping to find something like this down in South America, one day hopefully, I'll just have to admire your until then. Thanks for sharing.
Paul :)
