Like Buttah

Jelly fungus on downed tree limbs. Exidia genus-mates here, I believe. On the left, Amber Jelly Fungus, E. recisa.
On the right, Black Witches’ Butter Fungus, E. glandulosa.
Genus Tremella. I first thought Witches’ Butter, but there are a couple of similar ones in this genus.
More Black Witches’ Butter. This downed stick had a number of tiny invertebrates on it that I only noticed in photographs, a reminder that fungi is food and habitat for other lifeforms besides human mushroom collectors.
