The purpose of this forum is to help people identify things they've seen while out hiking: wildflowers, trees, birds, insects, small animals, animal tracks, even geographical features like buttes or streams

Saw this coming down from Devil's Rest Sunday. I googled orange brain fungus and came up with Jelly fungi, one of which is called Witch's Butter. Anybody see these before?

I've seen a lot of jelly fungi in the Rainy/North/Bear lakes area.

It looks like witches' butter (Tremella mesenterica) - very common around here. If the sun hits it, it will literally begin to melt.
