Is there any other kind? This one was growing out of the soil in a particularly wet area along the floodplain with walnuts in the vicinity.

This has the superficial appearance of a “cup fungus,” an ascomycete. But those have the reproductive structures in the bowl of the cap, and it looks here like the elegant shaggy ribbing along the sides serves that function.

The ribbing makes me think a chanterelle. That would be cool, since I’ve not seen any chanterelles of this color and shape.



Closeup of the ribbing, which consists of flattened sheets terminating in a fork. Any ideas?
