Tremella subanomala is characterized in its genus by 1) the dingy color, 2) the rather small firm tuberculate fruiting bodies, and 3) the depressed spores. (Martin, G.W.(1)). Bandoni(4) note that T. subanomala is closely related to or possibly the same as T. indecorata Sommerf.
Microscopic:
spores 8-10.5(14) x 10-11(14) microns, subglobose (nearly round), "often depressed and wider than long"; probasidia about 17 microns in diameter, globose (spherical) or subglobose (nearly spherical), yellowish, becoming cruciate-septate, epibasidia up to 80 microns in length, about 2 microns wide, arising abruptly, cylindric, often enlarging at tips, (Martin)

T. subanomala has been found in OR, ON, IA, MI, MN, NY, NC, TN, and VT, (Ginns). R. Bandoni collections from BC are deposited at the University of British Columbia.
