Fairy-Butter, s. a species of tremella, of yellowish colour and gelatinous substance, not very rarely found on furze and broom. Brockett’s Glossary describes it as growing about the roots of old trees. This must be some other species; probably what is called in some places witch’s-butter; of coarser texture and colour, and by no means so suitable to those delicate beings the fairies, as that which we name after them. “Vocab. of E. Anglia,” vol. i, p. 108. [Gurdon 35]
