    The tiny white discs to the right are also cool. I've seen them before on this site, but don't remember the species. Posted one year ago

      I don't have a closer photo to take a really good look to see if they are hairy... but I think they might be Lachnum virgineum (white disco). They are pretty common out here. They are really neat when they grow all over cones. Posted one year ago

The Common Jellyspot

This saprotrophic, or decomposer, jelly fungus is notable for its small orange gelatinous appearance. Its common name is the Jelly Spot Fungus. Growing to sizes between 2-8mm, Dacrymyces stillatus is gregarious and appears in large groups and clusters on coniferous and deciduous woods. The fruiting bodies are broad, round, convex and at length plicate, meaning that it can grow to become shell or fan shaped.
