Phaeotremella frondosa (synonym Tremella frondosa) is a species of fungus in the family Phaeotremellaceae producing brownish, frondose, gelatinous basidiocarps (fruit bodies). It is widespread in north temperate regions, and is parasitic on other species of fungi (Stereum spp.) that grow on dead attached and recently fallen branches of broadleaf trees.
