Tremella poilkavensis

A jelly fungus described by Anjitha Thomas and T.K. Arun Kumar from Poilkave in Kerala, India, in the Western Ghats. GBIF holds two records, from 2018 and 2021; little else is published in accessible form. Like most Tremella it is presumed to be a parasite of other fungi, which makes it effectively uncultivable.

Presumably on dead wood in humid forest, as Tremella of this type usually are; the host fungus has not been checked here.

No elevation recorded; the Kerala locality is probably lowland to mid-elevation.
