Jellied False Coral
A tough, whitish to buff, coral-like fungus made of many flattened, fused branches growing from the ground in hardwood forests. Despite its look it is not a true coral fungus: it has the divided basidia of jelly fungi and belongs to the Sebacinales, a mycorrhizal order. It was long known as Tremellodendron pallidum or T. schweinitzii.
Sometimes listed as edible, but rubbery and unpalatable (Minnesota Seasons); not a food species. Do not confuse with true coral fungi (Ramaria and relatives), several of which cause gastrointestinal upset.
