Material studied. MEXICO - Quintana Roo • J.I. de la Fuente 308 ( ITCV); Bacalar; 18°45′N, 088°20′W; alt. 19 m; 15 Sep. 2017 GoogleMaps .

Habit and habitat. Resupinate on dead logs in evergreen tropical forest.

Identification. This species is characterized by gelatinose basidiomata with whitish tones, foliose lobules, a slightly yellowish base, and ovoid to subglobose basidiospores of 5–7 × 3.5–5.5 µm. Our material agrees with the description provided by Weber and Smith (1986). It differs from other Tremella species present in Quintana Roo, like T. rubromaculata Lowy and T. wrightii Berk. & M.A. Curtis , by the whitish basidioma ( Guzmán 2003).
