'''This jelly fungus grows on dead timber of broadleaf trees, but it is particularly common on stumps and fallen branches of oak and beech. It is not the dead timber that Tremella aurantia consumes but rather a kind of bracket or crust fungus that itself has been feeding on the wood. Tremella aurantia must therefore be - Classed as a parasitic rather than saprobic species. In Britain (and probably elsewhere) it attacks Hairy Curtain Crust (False Turkey Tail) Stereum hirsutum.'''
