Calocera cornea
This jelly fungus (even though it does not look like one...) appears on decaying hardwood as clusters of small (barely 12 mm) and slick bright-yellow fruiting bodies with rounded-off or pointed tips.
Growing on a decaying barkless log (hardwood) in a wooded area of town park, the park consisting of a wooded (mainly broad-leaved, some conifers) area and a central meadow. The town is in rural area between Geneva lake and Jura mountains.
I observed these just after some heavy rains in May this year, and those carpophores disappeared already before my next visit, some 10 days later on, leaving almost no trace on a log. By the way, well visible on the first photo, there seems to be another organism/fungus growing with this one - those grey, lentil-like spots... I took these photo in a rather uncomfortable conditions (rain and low light) and noticed them only on a photo, once seen on computer.
