Jelly fungi |
||
Jelly fungi produce fruiting bodies that have the appearance of being gelatinous, although some examples are actually tough and rubbery instead of being soft and jelly-like. Fruiting bodies come in wide variety of different shapes and forms, but those of a number of the more common species are irregular to often convoluted. Many examples are quite colorful. Members of the group are most apparent during or just after a period of rainy weather. Most are decomposers of bark and wood, but several species are actually parasites of wood-decomposing fungi. |
