Stereum hirsutum on a dead oak log.
Leafy Brain, Tremella foliacea grows on dead wood that has been attacked by the wood-rotting fungus Stereum hirsutum, commonly referred to as Hairy Curtain Crust. Stereum hirsutum, shown above, is a conspicuous and very common species whose fruitbodies can be found throughout the year; this is the fungal host upon which the jelly fungus Tremella foliacea feeds.
