Description
Tremellaceae is a family of fungi that you could call the ultimate parasites since these are fungi that live on other fungi, which are often parasites themselves. Some are human parasites and can cause cryptococcosis, a potentially fatal infection. Many species in this family have a gelatinous, jelly-like appearance.
