Extract from Wikipedia article: Exidia recisa (common name willow brain or amber jelly roll) is a jelly fungus in the family Auriculariaceae. It is a common, wood-rotting species throughout the northern hemisphere, typically growing on dead attached twigs and branches of willow, more rarely other broadleaf trees.
Exidia recisa is a species of fungus that belongs to the family Auriculariaceae. It is characterized by its gelatinous, brain-like appearance with a wavy or lobed margin. In St. Petersburg and Leningrad Oblast, Exidia recisa has been found growing on dead wood, particularly on deciduous trees such as birch and alder. In north-western Russia, it typically fruits in late summer to early fall, often in moist, shaded areas with rich soil. The fungus is widely distributed in the region, including in urban parks and forests.
