"Tremella mesenterica" (common names include "yellow brain fungus", "golden jelly fungus" and "Witch's butter") is a jelly fungus that is commonly found on rotting wood, especially gorse, as a parasite of crust fungi of the genus "Peniophora" [Kuo, M. (2005, January). "Tremella mesenterica": Witch's butter. Retrieved from the MushroomExpert.Com Web site: [http://www.mushroomexpert.com/tremella_mesenterica.html] ] . It is not considered edible, though it can be cooked in soups, or used as a substitute for Jelly Ear fungus.

Its close relative, snow fungus, "T. fuciformis", is commonly used in Chinese cuisine, and witch's butter is also used as a tough substitute for snow fungus.
