An unknown fungus found at a friends house, growing on firewood. Located in North East Texas. This is two pictures of the same mushroom, the first is the underside and the second is the top.
What a great fungus. Tremella foliacea or similar. See http://www.mushroomexpert.com/tremella_foliacea.html for more details.
You might want to compare features with Auricularia as well as Tremella - the folds and the substrate made me think of this. Do you know what kind of tree the firewood was? -frog
I'm going with the Tree Ear? But here's a link that might help a tad http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wood_ear With our recent showers we've had large pop ups in my area.....some larger then soft balls. These are both lovely photos of this jelly!
