White Brain Jelly jolly fun(gus)

Lots of rain so lots of fungi. This one took  my eye a wee while back at Jourama Falls and the name clinched it ... White Brain Jelly Fungus (Tremella fuciformis). I quote: This fungus is found growing out of dead wood. The fruiting body is gelatinous when fresh, it shrinks as it dries and may even become leathery. It is contorted, lobed and translucent white, slimy when moist to 10 cm diameter; spores are borne over the entire surface of the lobes.
