Field Notes

Description:

Calocera viscosa is a very greasy mushroom of yellow to orange color. A white form also exists, but it is not a common find.

Habitat:

Calocera viscosa (and other members of its genus) always grow on wood, although sometimes not immediately evident if it has become buried beneath leaf litter and mosses of the forest floor.
