Weird fungus - bright orange. What is it?

[conuly]

It was growing on our nearly-dead tree outside my window. I couldn't get a good picture of it, but the limb fell down recently (honestly, the best thing to do would be to chop down the whole tree now, but nobody listens when I say that) so I went up and took two pictures, one of the underside and one of the... uh... otherside.

No, I don't think so. It definitely doesn't have a stalk, and hasn't had a stalk in the past year it's been sitting there.

Hm. Ok. Because the second picture examle I put doesn't seem to have stalks either, so I wasn't sure/

*shrug* very sleep deprived, dont mind me.
