Subgenus NolaneaObserver

Found in leaves and woody debris near a cluster of firs, but among other conifers and hardwoods in a residential area. As an extreme amateur the possibilities seem pretty broad, especially without having taken a spore print. Inocybe languinosa? Pluteus atromarginatus?

Toothed Jelly Fungus (Pseudohydnum gelatinosum)Observer
rainydaze79Description
Appears similar to other toothed jelly fungus I’ve seen before, although with a more nebulous shape. This specimen was found growing on a large downed fir tree that has been decomposing for at least ten years, and interestingly hosts what would appear to be at least 3 other distinct forms of fungus, including Oregon Reishi (decaying fruit body pictured was only about 5 feet away).

This translucent mushroom caught my eye hiding beneath salal, sword ferns, and other underbrush on a very cold October morning in the Capitol Forest, which is predominantly populated by conifers with a good numbers of alders and maples as well.
