tripwr1964 Posted October 20, 2013 Report Share Posted October 20, 2013 seen this young specimen a couple years in a row on same elm tree. i go back a week later and it's gone... so have never seen it mature. it's very delicate and almost translucent.

Dave W Posted October 20, 2013 Report Share Posted October 20, 2013 Possibly a species of Sparassis. Are the ribbon-like sections all connected together to a solid (rooting?) base? One explanation for the repeated disappearance of this mushroom is that someone is harvesting them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shroomersue Posted October 20, 2013 Report Share Posted October 20, 2013 These appear to me to be Tremella Foliacae - Jelly fungus. Found some recently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One explanation for the repeated disappearance of this mushroom is that someone is harvesting them! doesn't seem to have a single solid base. i'll keep an eye on it to see how it developes... before it disappears.

Dave W Posted October 22, 2013 Report Share Posted October 22, 2013 Closeup photo looks a lot more like Tremella than Sparassis. No unifying base means Sparassis is unlikely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
