Dacrymyces palmatus (orange jelly) is a species of jelly fungi in the family Dacrymycetaceae, and is nonpoisonous.[1] It is alternately reported to be both edible[2][3] and inedible.[4]
The species is usually yellow to orange, but varies from colorless to brown. The tough fruit bodies grow from a small disc or cushion formation. It resembles species of Tremella, which are usually tougher, particularly Tremella mesenterica. It differs microscopically from species of Dacrymyces.[5]
