TFTaDMSSoCAR D. punctifoprims Recorded for Tay (Loch Earn, Glen Tarkam Wd., on fallen conifer 30 ix 1982) and Dee (Dinnet, 15 ix 1964). Also possibly as Tremella (= Dacrymyces) torta in Stevenson from dead wood in Tay & Moray although Reid (1974) has rejected this proposal by Donk, indeed specimens in K refer to several different Dacrymyces spp.

TFTaDMSSoCAR D. stillatus Common Jelly Spot Very common and widespread. Probably better known as Dacrymyces deliquescnes or D. lacrymalis, although specimens often exhibit only the conidial stage, in which state it is often found on worked timbers in gardens. Recorded as such from Fair Isles, Papa Stour, and East Burra (on fence), also Foula (on old fishing boat timbers), Shetland (on wood of derelict croft) and St Kilda (on old wood Village Bay and cast out wood Mullach Mhor). Recorded as D. stillatus from Clyde (Blantyre, Chatelherault, Falls of Clyde etc.) and as D. deliquescans form Sutherland (Tongue, Dennis, 1955). Recorded as one of all 3 names from Tweed (Dawyck on Fagus log, 7 x 1965 & on Betula) and Forth (Devilla Forest, on conifer stump, 26 x 1980; Selmuir, on Pinus branch, 15 x 1977; Binning Wd., East Lothian, on Fagus 1 iii 2003), Moray (Guisachen, on Pinus, 26 v 1975; Aviemore, on dead Pinus sylvestris, 21 viii 2005), Tay (Struan Wd., on Betula, 22 ix 1983; Ben Chonzie, above Crieff on fence post, 16 vii 1976; Glen Islay, on Larix, 25 vi 1966), Argyll (Lismore Is., on Corylus, 4 viii 1980; Glen Nant, Taynuilt, on Corylus, 3 viii 1980), both as D. abietinus. Also records from Islay, Lewis (on Fagus), Harris (on Fraxinus), Colonsay (on Quercus) and Kintrye, Shetland (on fallen Salix trunk & on Larix Kergord; Sambucus Voxter and Muckle Roe (on pine stake), Raasay (on Corylus), Arran, Islay, Skye, Rhum (on Picea), Mull (on Sambucus & Ulex), Ulva (on Fagus). Also Orkney including Mainland, N.Hoy on Pinus contorta and Ulex, Rousay, Shapinsay (on Sorbus intermedia) and on drift wood North Ronaldsay; Shetland Unst, Yell & Mainland (on drift wood) etc. D. lacrymailis, which is included here is often considered to occur preferentially on frondose wood. As D. deliquescnes known from Moray (Tomich, on dead Pinus sylvestris, 19 viii 1955) and Tweed (Glen Tress, xii 1938). D. abietinus is also synonimized herein with the present taxon; recorded under this name by Dennis from Rhum and known from Glen Forsa Mull on conifer. There are several varieties of this taxon var. stipitatus & var. tortus see Reid &Austwick.  As D. deliquescens known in Stevenson from all Watersheds excepting Sutherland and Moray and under D. stillatus from same areas, again excepting Sutherland and Moray, Solway added in Add. 8. Old coll. Of R. Brown in K ‘on pales near Quarry at Leith Water i 1797’.

TFTaDMSSoCAR D. variisporus On Picea logs, Rhum, Loch Scresaort, 30 viii 1962. First record for British Isles; Reid, 1974.

Dacrymyces sp. Known from Tay (Tentsmuir, on Pinus wood 4 xi 1965).

Dacrymyces sp. Collection very probably not referrable to this genus. Recorded as Dacrymyces succineus Fr. on ‘pine leaves’ from Moray (Grantown, Rev. J.Keith) in Stevenson with description; it is unlikely to be the same as Tremella succinea Pers. nor D. fagicola, now synonimized with D. minor q.v., as suggested by some. It is Calloria succinea. Donk (1966) suggests it is the deuteromycete Sirocyphella succinea (Fr.) Hoehnel, whereas Rea (1922) accepts it with Peziza electrina Phill. & Plowr. as a synonym. Sutton considers Sirocyphella as an anamorph of Pseudocenangium.

TFTaDMSSoCAR T. globispora. On effete pyrenomycetes. Records from Mainland Orkney, 24 ix 1990; see Reid TBMS 55 1970. Possibly records as Tremella tubercularia from Clyde, Solway, Dee, Tay, Tweed & Moray in Stevenson might be interpreted in some cases as the present taxon but it is more likely that they refer to Ascocoryne spp. One collection of Greville in E has been renamed Endostilbm albida which is the anamorphic state of Ascocoryne soiltaria. The conidial state of Calloria noted as Sirocyphella is not tenable nor the identification as the conidial state of Pseudocenangium supported.

TFTaDMSSoCAR T. viscosa Known from Forth, Tay, Moray Clyde & Argyll in Stevenson and in Add. 8 for Solway. This has been variously interpreted, viz. Exidiopsis effusa, Stypella grilletii and Phlebia livida – q.v.

Rejected name:

T. aurantia Possibly in Stevenson as T. frondosa; single record from Tay (Careston by Rev. Anderson). Said to grow on primordia and basidiomes of Stereum hirsutum on old branches.
