I started ID'ing the mushroom in the picture. Found a picture that looked like it under the classification called 'jelly fungi'. Checked when this kind of fungi fruits - starts in August through til frost. Checked it's extent - east and south U.S. and into South America. Checked where it's found - on debarked hardwoods. Everything fits to a Exidia alba (White Jelly fungus). That's accurate enough for my purposes. While dried White Jelly fungus can be found in Oriental specialty food stores as a food additive (i.e. not for flavoring ), I'm not planning on eating any. Just want to know what it is.
