Actually Orange Peel Cup-fungi. These appear above ground in Spring, each cup is about 5 cm across.
Kodachrome 64.
Aleuria aurantia

A very unusual fungi Tony and a nice picture also. It does look like someone had lunch under a tree and peeled an orange

I run across these every once in a while. They are quite pretty and interesting. If one is lucky you can catch a springtail or two crawling or jumping about nearby. Nice photo there Tony
