Identification: Dacrymyces chrysospermus / palmatus

I think is is Dacrymyces chrysospermus...or palmatus. It is on a spruce stump.
Are chrysospermus and palmatus different names for the same species?
or are they 2 different species?

 

They are synonyms.

 

thanks

 

Common name to that and Tremella mesenterica (looks the same but grows on hardwoods) is Witche's butter. Edible but have no flavor, added to foods for their bright yellow color.

 

Not easy to harvest, its stuck close to the wood.
Probably shrinks a lot, too.
