Myxarium nucleatum is a species of fungus in the family Hyaloriaceae. In the UK, it has been given the recommended English name of crystalbrain. [4] . The fruit bodies are watery white, pustular or lobed, and gelatinous with small, white, mineral inclusions visible to the naked eye. · Crystalbrain is a jelly fungus that lives on hardwood that is dead or damaged, rotting the wood. Crystalbrainfungus is gelatinous, but it grows in as translucent-white fruiting bodies called basidiocarps. Myxarium nucleatum is a species of fungus in the family Hyaloriaceae.

View allExidia nucleata occurs throughout Britain and Ireland, but it is most commonly found in the south. This jelly fungus can be seen also in many countries on mainland Europe, in North America and in northern Africa.See full list on first-nature.comThe basionym of this species was established in 1822 by American mycologist Lewis David von Schweinitz (1780 - 1834), who named it Tremella nucleata. Its widely-accepted scientific name Exidia nucleata dates from a 1921 publication by another American, Edward Angus Burt (1859 - 1939).

Although it is not edible and should not be consumed, it is a harmless fungus that poses no threat to trees or humans. This is a translucent-white jelly fungus whose principal fieldmark is the presence of whitish nodules in the context. It can occur in extensive patches, becoming convoluted and brain-like in shape. Care is needed to separate it from similar species. The crystalbrain occurs in woods and wooded areas, and it's commonly associated with sycamore, beech, ash, oak, willow, elm, and alder. The mushroom grows on dead or decaying wood and is mostly found on the underside of decaying logs.
