Bandoni, Lloydia 21: 143, f. 8. 1958.

New Zealand specimens agree closely with Bandoni's (1958, p. 144) description of the type, although hymenial conidia described by Bandoni and Olive (1948, p. 592) was not observed.
Tremella fuciformis is the only white, foliose Tremella known to occur in this country. It was recorded from New Zealand by Lloyd (1921, p. 1073).
