A slender Orange Waxcap is growing up out of the forest floor. It is about 2.5 inches high with an umbrella like Orange Cap with pale yellow gills underneath. The stem is bright orange. It is leaning against a backdrop of decaying leaves which highlights its bright color.

Looking down at 2 Chicken of the Woods mushrooms growing out like 2 shelves from a dead fallen tree. They are each about 4 inches across and are bright orange with fading yellow at the edges.

An Eastern Caesar’s Amanita growing up out of the leaf litter. Its cap is bright orange and has not fully opened, looking somewhat like a knobby thimble. Is stem is yellow with blushes of orange. A fern is in the background.

Looking straight down on 4 bright Orange Peel mushrooms grow atop a gravel road. Each is dime-sized and look like wavy little discs or the inside of an ear.
