Tripe Fungus

Auricularia mesenterica

17th October 2014, Shipbourne Forest near Borough Green
Spread all over large log. No smell. Spongy/fleshy feel.

8th November 2013, Andrew’s Wood near Shoreham
On dead oak (probably) branches. 2-3cm long. No smell. Jelly like. Never seen any fungus like this before! I think it must be a very young example of something that will enlarge and become lobed later. Something like Tripe Fungus or Witches Butter. ID is possible.
