Orange fungus growing over bare soil that was burned by the White Fire, with my pen for scale

I noticed this orange fungus growing over bare soil that was burned by the White Fire last May. I put my pen in the photo for scale. I saw something similar after the Gap Fire back in 2009, see this photo from the archives at Fotolog. I reckon "Fire Fungi" would be a good name for this fungus.
