sp. Tremella
A mainly yellow fungi growing on rotting wood and amongst lichen and moss. Image is approximately 40-50mm across. The fruiting bodies are close to the surface they are growing on and multi-convulted and generally described as gelatinous but these seemed firmer than that description. Some of the bodies are covered in a white fuzz which I believe may be the anamorphic yeast state
Found in NZ native bush, in younger forest. Growing on a dead log and interspersed between lichen moss and a small green fungi which is possibly its host, as this species are parasitic. Only seen in one patch on the side of the track.
Would love any help with refining the species of this fungi

Hi remkinloch! This is not a Tremella sp. Tremella are much more gelatinous and do not have this "hairy" look. I'm thinking maybe Stereum
