I hope that any fungo-philes out there might help confirm the identification of a fungus I encounter in Hastings Park this morning. ?I wasn’t sure where else to post a question. The New Savory Wild Mushroom book leads me to believe it might be an example of a jelly fungi, perhaps Orange Jelly, or Dacrymyces palmatus.

Thanks,?

Hi Doug,

I think it may be or what I usually call witches' butter.

Hope all is well, Greg

Hi Doug,

This looks to be

Witch's butter
Tremella mesenterica

I understand it's edible, but I'm not a mycologist, so don't try it on my opinion!

Thanks, Greg and Rob. ?I considered that species, too. ?I was not tempted to nibble on it. ?Or put it in soup, as suggested in the Savory Mushroom book.

I'm no expert, I would have said "Witche's Butter", Tremella mesenterica or related...

You might try the iNaturalist smart phone app (Android or Iphone) as it will look at your photo and give an opinion.? This is a screen capture of some of it's suggestions when I took a pix of your image.
