Orange Mushroom ID needed

19 years ago

I posted two photos in the NAME THAT PLANT photo gallery of Orange mushrooms I came across. I have never seen mushrooms like these and would appreciate any information.

I ÂdiscoveredÂ them Sept 20. The top of the largest ones are about 3" in diameter, the cluster is about 12" high, and they are the color of a pumpkin. The tops of the mushroom looked leathery and very smooth. They were growing against the north side a large rock, with tall grass in front of them, in mottled shade, about 5 feet in from a country road.

Thank you

Carol

Carol, how about link us to those images....as I cannot find them in the Name That Plant forum. You could post them in the gallery in this forum, or just link them in this thread.
