With its bright yellow colour this fungus will brighten up your day when you spot it while you are out walking.
It is a jelly fungus and as the name suggests it looks a bit like a yellow brain. Unusually it doesn’t grow on dead wood itself but is parasitic and feeds on other fungi that break down decaying wood.
Yellow brain fungus is commonly known as ‘Witches Butter‘. Legend says that if this fungus grows on a gate or door of a house then it means that a witch has cast a spell on those living there.
