Unknown host, but host is wrapped in brown fibers as show in 3rd photo. This specimen was very small, and we had to be very delicate just to get this much. Collected by John Plischke: https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/147594895

pulkDescription
A magnificent fruiting along several feet of a log. Fruiting bodies up to 2.5cm long. Appeared distinctly greenish yellow in situ, but plain yellow after being pulled out of the shadows of the log. Gooey, sticky, adhering to anything that touches them, specimens drying to a shriveled, translucent puddle. Only beech, maple, cucumber magnolia immediatly surrounding the log, but the presence of the Callistosporium, and the good macroscopic match to the description of G. luteodiscus from Tsuga, suggests the log might have been a conifer.
Microscopy on this collection by Django Grootmyers:
“All structures inamyloid. Monomitic with simple-septate generative hyphae. Basidia 4-sterigmate. Basidia measurements: (22) 26 – 38.2 (40) × (4.6) 4.7 – 6 (6.1) µm, Q = (3.7) 4.8 – 6.8 (8.5); N = 30, Me = 31 × 5.4 µm; Qe = 5.8. Spores smooth, hyaline, thin-walled to slightly thick-walled and apiculate. Spore measurements: (5.6) 6.5 – 7.9 (9.1) × (3.1) 3.3 – 4 (4.2) µm, Q = (1.5) 1.7 – 2.2 (2.8); N = 30, Me = 7.1 × 3.7 µm; Qe = 2.”
