Found this today while driving through the park. I have found 3 so far this year and noticed all 3 were growing on a hardwood tree facing SW. All 3 trees were on a SW facing hillside about 100 feet below a group of pine trees.

Found this one in my yard after yesterday's rain. I have red maples, oak, elm and sassafras trees in this area. This is the yellow variety, which is supposedly in the process of getting it's own name separate from the red variety. I don't mess with them, but they sue are really cool.
