Jelly fungi are fungi characterized by having a jelly-like consistency when wet and mostly belonging to one of three orders: Auriculariales, Tremellales, or Dacrymycetales within the phylum Basidiomycota.

During dry periods their hyphae collapse down and become rather hard and resistant to bending, but as soon as they are reintroduced to moisture, they expand back out to their original gelatinous texture.

It is important to note, however, that the peculiar appearance of jelly fungi is not an absolute indicator of ancestral relationships. Gelatinous textures can also be found in some Ascomycota and are really just an adaptation to certain environmental pressures.

Due to having no stem, gills or visible pores, jelly fungi reproduce by forming microscopic basidia over their body surfaces. The basidia are similar to those on the gills or pore walls on the undersides of regular mushrooms.

Only a few jelly fungi are eaten, having little or an undesirable taste. However, some species, such as Tremella fuciformis, are not only edible but prized for use in soup and vegetable dishes. Others, like the Cat's Tongue mushroom (Pseudohydnum gelatinosum), can even be used to make candy.

Marine fungi is a large group of fungi that live in many different types of bodies of water, from estuaries to the open ocean. Despite the large amount of possible fungi species is up to the millions, only about 10% have been discovered. There is still much to be learned about marine fungi.

Chlorociboria aeruginascens (and the macroscopically identical species Chlorociboria aeruginosa) is a fungus commonly known as the "green elfcup", or "green wood cup", due to its characteristic small, blue-green saucer shaped fruit bodies. They are often found on bark-free dead wood, particularly oak, beech, ash and hazel all year round. Their fruit bodies, however, are seen much more infrequently than the turquoise staining of wood caused by said fungus, also called "spalting". Spalted wood also comes in many other varieties. It is prized by fine woodworkers and has been used since the 14th century in wood inlays. A great example of this is Tunbridge ware wooden box covers, decorated with colorful designs made from pieces of different colored woods, many of which were spalted. Pigmentation of the infected wood occurs when fungi produce extracellular pigments, in this case Xylindein, inside of its fibers. However, in some spalting fungi, pigments are generally bound within the hyphae cell walls. A visible color change can be seen if enough hyphae are concentrated in an area.
