on which stage of its life cycle it is in when you find it. in its asexual, "anamorphic" stage, it produces cloned conidia (asexual spores) and looks like purple globs of jelly, or gelatinized fingers. in its sexual, "teleomorphic" stage, it produces asci and spores and looks more like a disc or a cup...
size; the relatively firm branches it develops (unusual among the often-flabby jellies); and its tendency to grow terrestrially, rather than on wood. microscopic features (see below) will confirm identification. description: ecology: saprobic --or possibly parasitic on the mycelium of other fungi, like...

world's most boring mushroom, if you ask me. nothing is worse than tromping through acres and acres of woods with no mushrooms in them, except for a gazillion specimens of gymnopus dryophilus. so it is a welcome sight--to me, anyway--to find specimens infested with syzygospora mycetophila. collybia jelly...
names in english. one look at this fungus and you can see why people think auricularia americana looks like the missing part of a van gogh self portrait. appearing on the wood of hardwoods or conifers, especially after rains or in wet conditions, the jelly ear ranges from disc-shaped to ear-shaped to...

features conidia; species of dacrymyces, which can look to the naked eye very much like yellow tremella species, feature very different basidia (y-shaped) and spores (septate and allantoid) under the microscope. description: ecology: parasitic on the mycelium of species of peniophora (a genus of crust fungi...
pallidum) is by far the most common of the coral mushrooms --except that it's not, strictly speaking, a "coral mushroom." believe it or not, mycologists place it with the jellyfungi , on the basis of the microscopic structure of its spore-producing basidia. thus, some authors give tremellodendron schweinitzii...
