Dacrymyces lacrymalis is a species of fungus that belongs to the family Dacrymycetaceae. It is a jelly fungus that grows on decaying wood, particularly coniferous trees. In St. Petersburg and Leningrad Oblast, it has been found in forests and parks, often on fallen logs or stumps. In north-western Russia, it is commonly encountered in moist, temperate forests, where it plays a role in decomposing organic matter. The fungus produces yellow to orange, gelatinous fruiting bodies that are typically 1-5 cm in size.
