  • Question

    This was stuck to a red oak leaf on the forest floor in north-central Connecticut on 2018-2-16. It had the consistency of jelly and was semi-transparent. It looked a lot like a clump of melting snow. Eggs of some sort are in the jelly is my guess.

    Answer

    Dear David, I'm not sure what you have found. It could be a jelly fungus of some kind, but I've not seen this before. I wish I could be of more help, but I think this question should be directed to a mycological group. Good luck!
