This is a jelly fungus on a log. It is a little orange and translucent, you can see the slime where it connects to the log, and a lake with trees in the background.

THE SLIME

I’m just revisiting the slime & something is happening. But what? The blue colour is new & there’s a lot less slime. The inner shape has changed, too.

The 2nd img is from Dec, 5,
11 days ago.

Any thoughts?

Location: forest, Usedom, some km inland, Baltic Sea.

Orange Jelly Fungus (Dacrymyces chrysospermus) on dead wood. The orange color of the fungus is fascinating.

Apparently another name for jelly fungus is witches butter.

Photographed at Metea County Park Fort Wayne Indiana
By me, of course. 📸🖤

I really need to get my website going so I can sell my nature & mushroom photography.

A Google image search says this is Jelly Fungus.
Help me out here, fungi people.

Metea County Park, again, for the win.

Witch's butter, a pretty common #jellyfungus! It's fun to poke and it's also edible. Although it's less of a flavor and more of a texture.
