Tiny yellow disks or shallow cups, less than 1/4″ across with smooth surfaces. Their uniquely bright color makes them easy to spot and to identify. They have no stalk or a short one.
They emerge in crowded colonies from crevices in the logs of fallen trees (Photo B). Found on moist, decaying hardwood logs in spring, summer and fall. Common in the wet hollows at Fontenelle Forest and Neale Woods.
The lemon-yellow color is reflected in its scientific name.
