Leotia lubrica--Jelly babies

Jelly babies (Leotia lubrica) is an ascomycete in the order Helotiales with Morels and the like. These appear t range from yellow to green in color. The one I encountered was yellow with some green areas on older fruiting bodies. These have a rubber-like texture. These are apparently saprophytic, although I could not see the substrate under the moss.
