Calocera viscosa – yellow stagshorn
Description: Claocera viscosa produces rubbery-gelatinous, coralloid fruitbodies branching repeatedly from a short, central stem. The tips of the branches are normally pointed and often shortly forked. Fresh specimens are a bright egg-yolk yellow, drying a deep orange. The whole fruitbody becomes hard and tough when dry.
Substrate: stumps, fallen branches and logs.
