Tremella aspera

A jelly fungus described by W.C. Coker in 1920 from North Carolina. GBIF has three old records, from North Carolina and Canada, one on witch hazel (Hamamelis virginiana). Like other Tremella it is presumably a parasite of a wood-decay fungus on dead branches; it is not in cultivation.
