User's notes

Somewhat unusual for an ascomycete in that the asexual stage shown here (connidia last image) has the appearance of one of the jelly fungi. The sexual stages has more of a disk like appearance and used to be fairly common before the 2003 fires. Found growing on numerous intact pieces of damp old wood.
