Orange jelly fungus (Dacrymyces chrysospermus)

Lavigne Natural Park

Thanks to iNaturalist for ID. I was curious as to why these fungi, and there were many on the fallen tree, seemed to be "melting". Once I got the ID to species I could do a search and discovered that these fungi liquefy with age. Beneath this one was a large glob of molten fungus!
