Phaeotremella frondosa - satan's shower scrunchie.

It's not really called that, but it should be; the actual name is rubbish.

FOTD #052 : witches' butter! (tremella mesenterica)

witches' butter (AKA yellow brain, golden jelly fungus, or yellow trembler) is a jelly fungus in the family tremellaceae. it has been recorded on every continent - except antarctica. it grows in mesic to wet habitats on tree branches !!

the big question : can i bite it?? some sources say it is edible, but flavourless. :-)

t. mesenterica description :

"the fruit body has an irregular shape, & usually breaks through the bark of dead branches. it is up to 7.5 cm (3.0 in) broad & 2.5 to 5.0 cm (1.0 to 2.0 in) high, rounded to variously lobed or brain-like in appearance. the fruit body is gelatin-like but tough when wet, & hard when dry. the surface is usually smooth, the lobes translucent, deep yellow or bright yellow-orange, fading to pale yellow, rarely unpigmented & white or colorless. the fruit bodies dry to a dark reddish or orange. the spores, viewed in mass, are whitish or pale yellow."
