Tremella encephala "Pine-tree Brain Jelly" (my name) (Gk: encephalo- = brain) is a wood-rotting jelly fungus that grows world-wide on dead wood, especially pine. It is known to parasitize other fungi growing on the wood, particularly Stereum species. Fruit bodies variable, 15-25 mm, iregularly folded and rounded, jelly-like, translucent, creamy-pinky-brown coloured. The cushion-shaped mass has a hard central core (see 2nd ref). Mason's Falls, Kinglake National Park, 2007.
