Jelly Rot
Jelly rot, Phlebia tremellosa, probably. (Up to 58 species in the genus, most of which I know nothing about.) ID based on David Arora's Mushrooms Demystified. Confirmation would be appreciated.
On the side of a log, roughly 3 inches (8 cm) across.
Phlebia species cause white rot, breaking down lignin and sometimes cellulose. Despite developing a bracket of a sort, it lacks the pores of a polypore, so it's a corticoid or crust fungus.
