Extract from Wikipedia article: The orange peel fungus (Aleuria aurantia) is a widespread ascomycete fungus in the order Pezizales. The brilliant orange, cup-shaped ascocarps often resemble orange peels strewn on the ground, giving this species its common name.
Aleuria aurantia is a species of cup fungus that grows on soil, often in groups, and is characterized by its bright orange to reddish-orange cups. In St. Petersburg and Leningrad Oblast, it typically fruits from July to October, preferring moist, fertile soils in deciduous and mixed forests. In north-western Russia, it is widely distributed and can be found in similar habitats, including parks, gardens, and woodland edges, often associated with rich soil and abundant organic matter.
