Comment Really not sure how to deal with this: is it really bright orange? It looks to have blown the red channel unfortunately, so it's difficult to get your eyes around. Interesting, tell more. --mikaul^talk 09:36, 2 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- The article in which it appears claims it often appears brightly colored in various shades of red, orange, and yellow. It would appear to be a genuine color distribution if the article is correct. -RunningOnBrains^(talk) 17:11, 2 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- For the record, I've seen this. If anything, it's even brighter. Shoemaker's Holiday ^{Over 184 FCs served} 00:41, 9 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. Dead leaves and sticks make it messy; they're a bit off-putting in thumb, very much so at bigger sizes. Why not move them out of the way? Would have supported otherwise. Please no one try to argue using the silly 'that makes it more natural' argument - unless it's growing on them they don't need to be there, and as is they appear to obscure what it is growing on. --jjron (talk) 13:56, 2 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Support, nice shot. I do not consider the twigs or leaves in any way negative, for two reasons: firstly, the bright colour of the fungus itself, and, secondly, because that's where these grow. J Milburn (talk) 22:31, 5 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Weak support Yes they grow on forest debris like twigs and leaves... but, removal of that middle leaf would have let us see better the attachment of the fungus to its substrate... so only weak support. Sasata (talk) 06:48, 9 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
