Witches Butter

Outside our Village

Tremella mesenterica (common names include the yellow brain, the golden jelly fungus, the yellow
trembler, and witches' butter) is a common jelly fungus. It is most frequently found on dead but
attached and on recently fallen branches. It is edible. I only have found this in Winter after a long
period of rain.

Terrific scene of such vivid yellow tremella mesenterica, Tom! BV
I have never seen this yellow though we use to eat the transparent here.
Isabel Cutler16-Jan-2012 12:47
Nice to know what this is called! I have some growing under the railing on my deck. It shrinks when it's dry out and swells up when it rains. It's growing between stained treated wood and a composite similar to Trex. Didn't know it was edible.
Guest 16-Jan-2012 11:11
Quite pretty, gorgeous light on the green mossy growth, branch and jelly fungus. Love the diagonal composition that sweeps your eye back and forth.
