Dacryomyces stillatus

A small, yellowish orange, gelatinous blob.

It is usually under a centimeter across. Although it is usually blob-shaped, it sometimes appears like a little disc—and occasionally it develops "cerebriform" (brainlike) wrinkles. Sometimes it seems to have a vaguely defined pseudostem, but other times it does not. It is among the first fungi to appear after a rain, the dried, crust-like fruiting bodies quickly regaining their gelatinous texture. 

Fruiting Body: 2–8 mm across; usually blob-like or cushion shaped, but occasionally with brain-like wrinkles; surface bald and shiny, moist or sticky when fresh; sometimes with a vaguely stem-like basal portion; yellow to orange-yellow or yellow-orange; flesh gelatinous.
