These are neat. It feels like leather/latex. Smooth and jelly like kind of like a fruit roll up. They dont have pores or gills, just fuzzyness on the understide. They dont smell like anything. I found them on a downed elm branch.
This isnt really an id request but if you know what it is that would be cool. Sorry for the shitty pic.

The big one looks like a cut out butt hole  Auricularia auricula.. As far as I know its edible but don't eat it cuz I said so.. LOL
a cut from the net... Auricularia auricula-judae (syn. Auricularia auricula, Hirneola auricula-judae) is commonly known as the Jew's Ear Fungus or Judas's Ear Fungus, the name from which it derives the "judae" in its scientific name, or as the Jelly Ear Fungus. This jelly fungus is conspicuously ear shaped, dark brown to black in color with a rubbery texture, and most often found on dead elder trees but also on elms. It was said that Judas hanged himself on an elder tree, which is the origin of the name. [2]
This species is used often in Asian cooking. In Chinese, it is called 木耳 (pinyin: mù ěr, lit. "wood ear" or "tree ear") or 黑木耳 (pinyin: hēi mù ěr, lit. "black wood ear"), and in Japanese it is called kikurage. Auricularia polytricha (cloud ear fungus), a closely related species, is also used in Asian cooking.
Snow fungus, another edible fungus which is white in color, is a separate species, Tremella fuciformis.

I think I saw that jelly in your photo gallery, Gumby, I had to save it to my drive, hehe. That is one gnarly looking funk of a mushroom. So cool and really weird looking. Awesome pics.
