Hi forum,Could this eventually be Ascotremella faginea? A was unable to find mature asci with spores. Alternatively this could be Exidia recisa, but I was also unable to find globose basidia. Spores shown are probably contaminant. There were only 12 of them found after long searching and could be easily from somewhere else. Sorry for poor microscopy of surface of sporocarps. Can it help at all?
Habitat: modestly southeast inclined mountain slope, mixed wood, dominant Fagus Sylvatica, Picea abies; overgrown calcareous ground composed of old alluvial and glacial moraine scree, rocks and boulders, relatively warm and dry place, in shade, average precipitations ~ 3.000 mm/year, average temperature 7-8 deg C, elevation 595 m (1.950 feet), alpine phytogeographical region.
Substratum: fallen Fagus sylvatica trunk; mostly still in bark; in its (late) initial stage of disintegration.
Place: Lower Trenta valley, East Julian Alps, Poso?je, Slovenia EC
Comment: Three sporocarps found growing close together; fresh fruitbodies pinkish-brown, after two days in refrigerator becoming olive-brown; fruit body dimensions up to 5 x 4 x 2.5 cm; clumps spreading flat over the substratum and attached to it only at isolated spots resembling rudimentary short 'stalks'; context quite firm, gelatinous; taste indistinctive, smell none; SP not obtained.
Many thanks for your help in advance.

last week I found a similar Ascotremella in a Beechwood near The Hague, The Netherlands. Ik found also no asci, but exactly the same microscopic features you have. I could not find any clamps, so it is no Tremella. I decided that it has top an Ascotremella. I do.t have good microscope pictures
With kind regards
