Jeff__ Posted August 19, 2017 Report Share Posted August 19, 2017 I found some of these today in wet areas, hemlock with some mixed hardwoods (oak mainly), in Western Massachusetts. Smooth underneath, no apparent gills. They remind me of immature Craterellus tubaeformis, but are uniform in color and have no gill markings. Any thoughts?

svs Posted August 20, 2017 Report Share Posted August 20, 2017 Hi Jeff, I am finding similar gelationus mushrooms in NJ. I do not think they are Cratellus family. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angela Posted August 20, 2017 Report Share Posted August 20, 2017 I'm only taking a guess, but how about jelly babies? I don't know what the scientific name is for them, though, and I've only seen pictures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff__ Posted August 20, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2017 Thanks SVS & Angela, The two of you seem to have pointed me in the right direction (as I was way off). It does seem to match up with Jelly Babies (Leotia lubrica, or related). Thanks for the pointer, I was looking in the completely wrong place Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave W Posted August 22, 2017 Report Share Posted August 22, 2017 Leotia lubrica has a jelly-like consistency. The ones seen here appear to be somewhat firm-fleshed. I think these may be Cudonia lutea http://www.mycoquebec.org/bas.php?trie=C&l=l&nom=Cudonia lutea / Cudonie jaune&tag=Cudonia lutea&gro=82 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
