Would appreciate an ID on this fungi - white translucent on Ash, about 1 inch in diameter, it looked and felt like a blob of silicone.:

hi ther Carol..i posted a specimen very much like yours on monday..


Was told it was either Exidia or (possibly)Stypella species.

I think Juliejam is right. Exidia sps are usually translucent and white. hard to ID though

Thanks Julie, it does look like the one you found, I will keep my eye on it. There are some weird and wonderful ones out there.

Thanks KT.

Hi

there is a pale / washed out form of Tremella mesenterica ( yellow brain ) , which used to be called T. lutescens which this reminds me of ??

I have to say, I thought of that when I read this thread this morning- Note T. lutescens was once thought to be a completely separate species but is now a variation of T. mesenterica. Is it now called T. mesenterica var lutescens? Hmm

So what I want to know is, what're the main differences between Exidia nucleata and Tremella mesenterica 'var lutescens '

Someone told me that with Exidia nucleata you can see little calcium nodules (the nuclei presumably) when viewed with a strong lens. As I've never seen it this doesn't add much to this thread, so please regard this as another question. If this is Exidia should we be able to see these nodules?
