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.

You’ve heard of disaster capitalism, and now we have pandemic capitalism: an orgy of deregulation, sweetheart deals, and massive corruption under cover of national emergency. Do you still have Republican friends? Why?
Backyard and Beyond 
I enlarged the black stuff but couldn’t find the mentioned invertebrates. Can you make these easier to locate?
Thanks
They were actually on the other side of this piece of wood, the side that had been on the ground, so un-pictured here. Springtails I guess, but I don’t really know enough about these tiny forms.
