Jelly Baby is a rubbery fungi. It starts out with a round, smooth, shiny cap that develops into curvy margins. They are often yellow, orangey-yellow or greenish-brown in colour. The stems are sometimes a little flattened with a flaky or scaly surface, with soft jelly-like, pale flesh inside.
They can be found from August through to October in deciduous and coniferous woodland. They often grow beside footpaths or on the banks of drainage ditches and are particularly common among damp moss.
Jelly Baby have been said to be edible and inedible, but the majority view is they are of no culinary interest.
It is a common, but localised species in Britain.
