Information

Golden Ear (Naematelia aurantia) is a widespread jelly fungus, seen mainly in autumn or winter. It appears on fallen wood of broadleaf trees and on deadwood parts of living trees. Golden ear feeds on another fungus, which feeds on the wood. In dry weather golden ear shrinks dramatically, loses its shiny-wet appearance and is much harder to see.
