Type: in Curtis Herb. 
Fructifications gelatinous, rather firm, elastic, white, growing 
up from the ground in erect, branched, self-supporting tufts 
which are more or less fused together and anastomosing, with 
all parts usually hollow, finally becoming somewhat cinnamon- 
brown in the herbarium; branches somewhat cylindric, short, 
projecting, obtuse; basidia 128-9 u; spores hyaline, even, 
6-10 x414-6 u, as found in preparations of the hymenium. 
Fructifications 215-8 em. high, 314-10 cm. in diameter. 
Growing on the ground in woods, Vermont to North Carolina 
and westward to Wisconsin. July to October. 
Tremella reticulata is distinguished by its rising from the ground 
as a white, self-supporting, coralloid mass so firm and elastic 
that it can be bent, twisted, or compressed and the parts spring 
back into their original position.
