Trembling Phlebia
Fruiting bodies were 2-5 cm across and irregularly shaped. As they mature, the upper edges of the fruiting bodies become bracket-like, and the spore-bearing surface turns pinkish orange. There are no true pores on the gelatinous fertile surface though; rather, it is covered in deep wrinkles. The upper surface is white and fuzzy.
''Merulius tremellosus'', commonly known as trembling Merulius or jelly rot, is a species of fungus in the family Meruliaceae. It is a common and widely distributed wood-decay fungus that grows on the rotting wood of both hardwood and conifer plants.
