A stunning close up of some tiny fungus, growing on a rotting tree branch. It is remarkable how much these resemble coral and this could easily have been taken underwater. This tiny fungus was no bigger than 1cm and its coral like texture only became visible when I looked at the image on a large screen.

Tremella mesenterica (common names include the yellow brain, the golden jelly fungus, the yellow trembler, and witches' butter is a common jelly fungus in the Tremellaceae family of the Agaricomycotina. It is most frequently found on dead but attached and on recently fallen branches, especially of angiosperms, as a parasite of wood decay fungi in the genus Peniophora.
