kkstep Posted July 21, 2013 Report Share Posted July 21, 2013 I've noticed these growing on my walks. I can't find anything like them in photos or descriptions. Especially since these are growing out of the ground and not out of a dead tree. Any help would be appreciated. Western PA, BTW. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kkstep Posted July 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2013 I did some more poking around on the internet and I think it's a species of Ramaria, most of which appear to be sickeners. Oh well, it looked so tasty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave W Posted July 22, 2013 Report Share Posted July 22, 2013 This is very likely Tremellodendron pallidum. http://mushroomexpert.com/tremellodendron_pallidum.html Our local woods are full of this coral-like mushroom this summer. The fruit bodies are composed of tough/flexible flesh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ladyflyfsh Posted July 22, 2013 Report Share Posted July 22, 2013 I don't think it is a Ramaria but I'm not sure what it is. I've seen some posts with mushrooms like this on Facebook. Was that you also? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kkstep Posted July 22, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2013 Thanks Dave and Lady. Tremellodendron pallidum sounds right. Yes, that was me on face book. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave W Posted July 22, 2013 Report Share Posted July 22, 2013 Here's some T. pallidum I observed a few weeks ago. http://mushroomobserver.org/139067?q=1Nuwq Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
