Very funky little jelly things. Quite common too, keep your eyes peeled.

This amazing organism can be found adorning logs and tree stumps. They look like they're grape flavoured, but I wouldn't count on that.

Very common, but no less impressive for that fact. These start off as solid, circular black discs but dissolve into a purple-brown spore-carrying goo.

This vibrantly coloured fungus often completely covers downed logs and tree stumps.

Very well named. I can certainly imagine a witch spreading this horrible looking stuff on their toast.

This awesome slime fungus covers many twigs and sticks with its slimy cells towards the end of the year.

Definitely a more peculiar one. This strange thing pops up among mossy grass and appears just like a little green mushroom, but with no gills.

These delicate orange blobs certainly stand out against the deep brown of the tree trunk!

Just great fun. And biologically interesting too as this fungus is actually a parasite of the Stereum fungus, an example of which can be found on the Brackets page

This wood-rot covers wood and moss alike in its purpley-orange, wrinkly slime.

Despite being called a bracket, I found these white, spiky, drippy blobs on the forest floor munching on pine twigs and needles.

Much more bracket-like! These lumpy things cause rot in the poor trees they afflict.

'Weird alert! This is one of the strangest things I''ve ever come across.
From what I can research, this is thought to be the reproductive system of some amphibian, perhaps a frog, that has come on the wrong side of a predator.
A fine theory, but what kind of frog is spawning in mid December, in an acidic peat bog in the Scottish highlands? I say the jury is out, hence its place on the jelly fungus page., '

This extremely cool and colourful slime can be found crawling all over sticks and twigs towards the end of the year.
