Just before The Outpost and to the right of the path, this bright scarlet fungus had cream to apricot-orange flesh and a cream stem.

It grew out of a rotting branch.

The next day, its scarlet colour had faded to a dark apricot-orange, and the cap had widened slightly.

On Day 10, it had paled and shrivelled, but grown generally larger.
