I'm knowledge-less about mushrooms. Anyone know what these are? Found growing on a downed tree on the Olympic Peninsula, Washington, USA.

@KitOz I'm not familiar with this one but Phlebia tremellosa is a possible match. I would check the underside. mykoweb.com/CAF/species/Phlebi

@mjambon Thank you! It looks like that could indeed be what it is. I'm amused to discover that one of its common names is "jelly rot fungus." Ha. And in Dutch, apparently, it is known as "bacon-pork rind." (But it's not edible.)
