The Jelly Drops

"Ascocoryne sarcoides" is a species of fungus in the Helotiaceae family. Formerly known as "Coryne sarcoides", its taxonomical history has been complicated by the fact that it may adopt both sexual and asexual forms. Colloquially known as jelly drops or the purple jellydisc, this common fungus appears as a gelatinous mass of pinkish or purple-colored discs.
