Squirrel or squirrels on one of the tarmac paths in West Park.

Golden jelly fungus

Golden jelly fungus

Golden jelly is a common fungus which normally grows on dead branches, here on an elder. It is also known as yellow brain fungus, yellow trembler, or witch’s butter. It turns yellow when wet – despite the weather this winter, this one was dry when I noticed it.
