Tremella vesicaria

A little-known jelly fungus named by W.G. Smith. GBIF's usable records are all from the eastern United States, mostly 1947–48 collections from woods around State College, Pennsylvania, labelled as growing on the ground. Like other Tremella it is presumably a parasite of another fungus, but its host is unrecorded.

Record sites lie at about 30–370 m.
