Yellow Stagshorn
Calocera viscosa, the yellow stagshorn, is a jelly fungus that forms bright yellow to orange, antler-like branched fruitbodies on conifer wood, often from buried roots. Its greasy, firmly gelatinous texture separates it from the brittle coral fungi it resembles.
Not known to cause poisoning, but generally regarded as inedible because of its gelatinous texture, lack of flavour and slight build; some sources list it as edible with little culinary value beyond colour.
