Spotting

Description:

Encontrei na árvore do quintal (goiabeira), num galho seco (galho solto), após três dias de chuva consecutivos. I found the tree in his backyard (guava), a dry branch (branch loose), after three consecutive days of rain

It is a very beautiful fungus and not so uncommon as one may think.

It looks similar to the fungus Tremella mesenterica although in my spottings is more yellow. http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/830...
I can see on the twig, I think, another fungus that seems to belongs to the genus Peniophora. T. mesenterica parasite Peniophora so it is easy to find them together

Lamento no "falar" portugues, pruebo en español por si te resulta mas facil que el ingles.
Parece Tremella mesentérica, un hongo parásito de otros hongos del genero Peniophora. En las imagenes que muestras se ven unas manchas blancas en las ramas del arbol que parecen un hongo Peniophora al que estaría parasitando T. mesenterica
