Found a few weeks ago, always wondered when these came up in my area.

      Seriously, this is no fair! If they look like candy then they should taste like candy and be as safe to eat as candy

        These guys are edible, you could definitely candy them but I would be hardpressed to find enough to make it worth the effort. No flavour to them but a fancy little mid-hike snack.

          I candied some Naematella Aurantia recently and was surprised that they actually have a good bit of flavor on their own. Those are a whole different Order of jellies though.

      I did end up eating a few of these, they tasted like water but the texture was surprisingly pleasant.
