Dacrymyces chrysospermus is a species of jelly fungus in the familyDacrymycetaceae. In the UK it has the recommended English name of orange jelly spot;[1] in North America it is known as orange jelly or orange witch's butter.[2] The species is saprotrophic and grows on dead coniferous wood. Basidiocarps are gelatinous, bright orange, and extremely variable in shape, but typically stoutly stipitate with a spoon- or cup-shaped, spore-bearing head. They are frequently erumpent in groups, often coalescing to form complex masses up to 6 cm (2.4 in) across.[3]Dacrymyces chrysospermus was originally described from New England, but is said to have a worldwide distribution.[3] Microscopically it is distinguished from most other species of Dacrymyces by its comparatively large (18–23 by 6.5–8 µm), 7-septatebasidiospores.[3][4]
