I came across this day-glo orange fungus the other day in the wildlife sanctuary at Stanley Park. It really is that bright! I thought it was some plastic trash someone had tossed, until I took a closer look. It was growing along the bank of the river in little clusters. Nature really is amazing, isn't she?
