On fallen oak trunk.  New York.



Thanks!

Also found this gorgeous chicken of the woods today.  Choice, fresh, clean!  Not a bug on it.  Nom, nom, nom!!!

Them chickens be tasty business!  Prime catch!

Your suspected Tremella is interesting.  I haven't really seen many observations that black and crisp.  Did you handle it?  What did it feel like?  I can't think of any other suspects that would look this way.  Exidia recisa would be the "runner up" and this looks too thin to be that.

No, darn it, I didn't handle it.  It's not a far walk into the woods and it was right on the trail, so I can find it again easily enough.  I'll head back out once again (was hoping to clock a total of 10 miles of hiking anyway!).  I'll report back - perhaps even collect it if I can confirm the identity.

My National Audobon Society Field Guide to Mushrooms indicate Jelly leaf are edible, although I have no idea as to how to prepare it.  :shrug:

Maybe an old Sparassis?

At this point, it's all dried up and of no culinary value. 

Auricularia are awesome though and I would totally trek back for some of those.

Can't be more than a week old.  I pass that stump every week-end to access the deeper parts of the forest before turning off on game trails to hunt.  I highly doubt I missed it last week-end - but anything is possible, I suppose.  :shrug:

Gotta give it to ToxicMan.  Whatever it once was, it is dry to the point of brittle despite the appearance of it being soft and supple in the photo.  On the way back I found the white specimen...trying to identify that now.  Found growing from the root of a huge oak tree.

Sparassis doesn't age to black like that nor does it grow on limbs of trees.  I think you were correct in thinking Tramella.
