Tremella resupinata

A Taiwanese Tremella described by Chee-Jen Chen in 1998 in Bibliotheca Mycologica 174, named for its flat, crust-like (resupinate) fruit body. GBIF lists specimens and living cultures from Kuanwu Forest and Kenting forest in Taiwan, including the type culture CBS 8488. Little is published about its ecology, and it is not cultivated.

Where it grows wild

Collected in forest in Taiwan; the fruit body is resupinate. Like other Tremella it is presumably a parasite of a wood-inhabiting fungus, but our sources did not state its host.

Records come from Kuanwu Forest in the mountains of northern Taiwan and from Kenting in the lowland far south, so a wide elevation range is possible.
