The orange to pink color and the radiating pattern is distinctive and make this easy to identify.. If you search under fallen branches for it, you may find other colorful corticioids like Cobalt Crust (Pulcherricium caeruleum) and Reddish Brown Crust (Hymenochaete tabacina), as well as Wrinkled Crust's cousin, Red and Yellow Crust (Phlebia coccineofulva). Another cousin, Coral-Pink Merulius (Phlebia incarnata) looks like a small, hot pink shelf fungus.
