Jelly Fungus - Tremellaceae, maybe Tremella mesenterica

Maybe a dried out jelly fungus? I'm not sure, but it looked like a flame from a distance.

Yes one of the Tremellaceae I would say. Looks like Tremella mesenterica, but I'm not sure. Posted 3 years ago

"Tremella mesenterica" is a common jelly fungus in the Tremellaceae family of the Agaricomycotina. It is most frequently found on dead but attached and on recently fallen branches, especially of angiosperms, as a parasite of wood decay fungi in the genus "Peniophora".
