Tremella flammea

A jelly fungus described by Kobayasi in 1939 from Japan; the name refers to a flame-coloured fruit body. Almost nothing beyond the original description is published, and GBIF has no usable wild records. Like its relatives it is presumably a parasite of other fungi on dead wood and is not in cultivation.
