Dacrymyces palmatus (orange jelly) is a species of jelly fungi in the family Dacrymycetaceae, and is nonpoisonous. It is alternately reported to be both edible and inedible. The species is usually yellow to orange, but varies from colorless to brown. The tough fruit bodies grow from a small disc or cushion formation. It resembles species of Tremella, which are usually tougher, particularly Tremella mesenterica. It differs microscopically from species of Dacrymyces.

A DNA barcode is a short, standardised stretch of genes that works like a fingerprint — enough to tell one species from another. Below is the molecular trace Dacrymyces chrysospermus has left across the world's sequence archives.

Where the DNA of Dacrymyces chrysospermus was picked up in samples of water, soil or air — nobody saw the organism, only its DNA left behind. A trace is a clue that the species was near, not a confirmed sighting.

How to read this: each dot is one detection of this species' DNA in an environmental sample. The confidence meter weighs how many independent studies and places back up the signal — one detection in one study is a hint; many across several studies is solid. Records dated before 2008 (when eDNA methods began) are treated as likely mislabeled and left off the map.
