Description

Dacrymyces stillatus, the common jellyspot, is a small jelly fungus. The fruit bodies are cushion-shaped to almost spherical, 3—5 mm across, yellow to orange, shrivelling and darkening to reddish-brown as they dry. They grow crowded, often merging into rows, on dead wood of both conifers and broad-leaved trees, including worked timber, and can be found all year round in damp weather. The fungus is inedible.
