Tremella candida

An old Persoon name for a white jelly fungus, still used in some European records from Spain, France and Switzerland. Its modern application is unclear and it has no current description; records suggest a whitish jelly on dead wood fruiting in cool, wet months. Nothing is known about growing it.
