sadly enough, but not because of its great beauty. it was another not so great fall at SP, early in the season, at one of our first BAMS forays there.
it was waaaaay too thin fleshed to be Hydnellum aurantiacum. Darv initially suggested Phellodon as an ID, and I have no reason to change it now.
On the other hand, nice to have an actual photo to debate, rather than a purely theoretical sighting, eh?
