Tremella fuciformis

World wide in warm climates.

“Could be the most interesting DNA sequence I ever looked at. Amplified three different fungi, but I was able to parse out all three. The first was the target – Tremella fusciformis. But it also had a 100% match to Dutch Elm Disease (Ophiostoma) and a 95% match to species in the genus Sporothrix. It is a group of soil fungi with some known pathogens. In addition, Sporothrix is probably widely associated with Jelly fungi, as there is another example of a Sporothrix sequence being misnamed as Phaeotremella. But why are any of these other fungi hitching a ride on Tremella fusciformis, which itself is a parasite on Annulohypoxylon[?]”
