Small Stagshorn

Small Stagshorn is a jelly fungus that looks rather like a club fungus, but is much less brittle and found on wood. It is yellow or orange-yellow, gelatinous, with a smooth, greasy surface, and tapers to a blunt or pointed tip. Usually unbranched and occasionally forked near the top.

It can be found throughout most of the yea,r but is particularly common during the autumn months.

Small Stagshorn grows on rotting trunks and stumps of broadleaf trees, particularly fallen trunks of Beech and can very occasionally be found on conifers.

Common and widespread throughout Britain.
