This jelly grows on hard wood, not conifers. It has a look alike, Dacrymyces palmatus (Orange Jelly) which looks very similar, but grows on conifer wood, and has a lighter colored or white attachment point where it attaches to the wood it is growing from. If you’re wondering what the purple fungus is in the photos below. It is Trichaptum biforme (aka. Violet Toothed Polypore).
