Another first for me. I have never seen this color of fungus. Found it hiking near Rubio Canyon in Altadena.

Thanks huff and puff
I read the links you shared. It did have a gelatinous yellow- orange fruit body. At first I thought it was the fruit of a disgarded orange until I got a closer look. Very interesting
Thanks again :)
