Otidea onotica

I'm not sure with otidea onotica, it can also be otidea leporina.

 

Description from MushroomExpert.com:

This cup fungus and its close relatives, members of the genus Otidea, are characteristically split down one side, resulting in a folded cup shape. Much is made in keys to Otidea of whether the cup shape is reminiscent of an erect rabbit ear, or is more truncated and cuplike--but this "character" is difficult to assess, and microscopic examination is often required to identify species.

Otidea onotica is supposed to be one of the "rabbit-ear species" rather than one of the "chopped-off, split goblet" species. More reliable characters include its brownish yellow colors, the rosy tinge on the inner surface, its clustered growth, and microscopic characters (see below).
