I am not an expert but I did a lot of research on the one I found, http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/59496009 I am not sure if it is a Tremella fuciformis or a Tremella reticulata, but definitely it is a Snow Fungus. http://www.mushroomexpert.com/tremella_fuciformis.html

I'm looking to see if there are any mimics to it right now. I'm highly interested to know if it is or not due to the snow fungi's anti-inflammatory medicinal uses :O

Very cool spotting AutumnDawn. I haven't seen snow fungus before but it looks like that to me.
