Red/orange shelf-like mushroom growing from decaying oak, south central Texas
    #26106823 -

So I know this is quite the shot in the dark due to the limited information I have to provide. Only one of the photos I took came out, and a nearby pile of ants protested any additional investigation.

The mushroom was growing at a rest stop in central Texas. There hasn't been much rain lately, maybe even zero in the last two weeks.

Habitat:
Where does it grow? Growing off of decaying wood (appeared to be an oak branch that was about 3" diameter)

Gills:
Unknown, wasn't able to see/photograph underside without disturbing the area more than I wanted. Also, ants!

Stem:
No stem, shelf-like growth habit

Cap:
Cap flat with a red/orange color and almost porous texture


Spore print color:
Did not take a sample, only photo

Bruising:
Didn't check for bruising, did I mention the ants? They had spider friends.

Again, I completely understand that this ID request is missing quite a bit of info, but I haven't seen anything like this before and couldn't resist trying to learn more about it. Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions!

Pycnoporus species. Gorgeous colours in that genus :super:

Awesome, thank you! It looks like Pycnoporus sanguineus makes the most sense between the description (relatively thin cap) and seeing how commonly it is reported in this area on mushroom observer and inaturalist. The color really is striking, especially with a backdrop of almost entirely dead leaves.
