p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Mistaken Identity: Tremella foliacea


We have a dead apple tree which is still standing. The Silver Leaf fungus which killed it is still alive.

I recently thought I had spotted some very young and tender Silver Leaf brackets emerging from the bark.

Today I was identifying an Ascomycete fungus and saw, next to it on the page, what looked like the images shown below. I went out to the tree and looked where the subject had been nine days earlier. There was no bracket, the fungus have disappeared.

It is one of the jelly fungi. It would have become more brown and leaf-like before dying. It is known by various names, including Brown Witches Butter. It is a parasite of other fungi, in this case presumably of the Silver Leaf Chondrostereum purpureum.
