Unidentified fungi
Unidentified fungi
Any ideas?
I also posted this on my Lewis River hike TR, but I thought maybe over here I might get some nibbles from folks who like to identify cool stuff! In case you can't tell from the picture, these things were translucent. They almost looked like they were glowing, but I expect that was just the amazing light on Sunday!

Looks like one of the "jelly" fungi. Many of those are edible. Though of course triple check if you're thinking of trying it!

It may be Psuedohydnum gelatinosum, Toothed Jelly Fungus. (All The Rain Promises and More, D. Arora, page 201)(Mushrooms Demystified, D. Arora, page 671)

Hooray! I think we have a winner! Maybe hard to see in my quick iPhone grab (long story about how I'm too lazy to set up my "big" camera on the tripod that close to the ground), but the ones I saw definitely had "teeth," though they were really tiny.Lumpy wrote:It may be Psuedohydnum gelatinosum, Toothed Jelly Fungus.

Thanks!!! (My husband thanks you, too - he loves mushrooms and other fungi, though he's just started learning to identify them.)
