Tremella aurantiolutea

An orange-yellow jelly fungus described by Lowy in 1978 and known from only two collections, in oak forest in Veracruz, Mexico, and in the Talamanca range of Costa Rica. Its host is not recorded; like most Tremella it is presumed to parasitise another wood fungus. Nothing is known about cultivating it.
