Dacryopinax spathularia (Schwein.) G.W. Martin Fan-shaped jelly fungus
This fungus is a common North American native. Spathul- means "little spade" or "little blade," a reference to its shape. Identification: The fruiting bodies are less than ⅞″ (2.5 cm) tall, growing in clusters or rows along cracks in decaying wood; often the wood has lost its bark. Each fruiting body has a curved fan-like shape, thin in cross-section and widening toward the top. They are translucent and bright yellow-orange in color, and are gelatinous to the touch. Edibility: Edible. Used occasionally in Chinese cuisine. But these can be confused with inedible species, so don't try them if you are not certain of their identity. Online References:
