I don't know where to begin to describe this mushroom, so a picture will have to suffice. Color is salmon, soft, moist and a bit mushy in texture. Growing on a downed oak tree in New York.
Beats me. Can't find anything like it in my mushroom ID books. 

Thanks for any assistance or direction to investigate.

Wow, that's it! The top-most picture is a dead ringer for the specimen I spotted. I'm learning so much this fall simply by getting outside and walking through the woods with my "mushroom vision" dialed in by all the knowledgeable folks here.
Thanks once again for providing great direction for my further reading on this interesting mushroom. Quite an attractive color, although the gelatinous texture is a bit off-putting. Funny how I always related to mushrooms as merely parasail-shaped with gills. My eyes have really been opened this season to the many and varied forms they ACTUALLY take on.
