"jelly" mushrooms are mostly "ascomyceten"! this "cup fungi" is possibly a member of the genus: "Cookeina". I puzzle between 2 species: "C. sulcipes" or "C.tricholoma" --> yours looks small and almost bold, from the description at wikipedia, i tend to suggest: "Cookeina Tricholoma",I'm not really familiar with this fungi, therefore it can surely be one of the other species : not descript or not found until now!! At least you could id him as "Cookeina species / cup fungi" ( http://www.google.nl/search?hl=nl&cp=8&gs_id=2&xhr=t&q=cookeina&safe=off&gs_sm=&gs_upl=&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.,cf.osb&biw=1264&bih=568&wrapid=tljp132397711452600&um=1&ie=UTF-8&tbm=isch&source=og&sa=N&tab=wi&ei=tEnqTpGrKorsOeGEhJoI ).
It's really tough to say - I know a lot of N American mushrooms: many of which ARE world wide. But there are so many unidentified species out there, still. This looks like a jelly mushroom of some type, but without more pics and size and all that it's hard to say what family it is in
