Can anyone one tell me what this is please?

That looks like witches' butter, Tremella mesenterica.

 

Very pretty, but bland and no real texture.

edit

Although if you found them in great enough quantity, you could simmer them in sugar syrup then dry them slightly in a low oven (or dehyrdator), to crystalise them in the same way as the very-pleasant jelly tooth fungus, Pseudohydnum gelatinosum, or "nature's Haribo" as I like to call them.

Yellow Brain fungus

[David Humphries]

Few saprobes at work from the last couple of days.

 

Lepista nuda - the Wood Blewit,

 

Fomitopsis betulina - the birch polypore,

 

Schizophyllum commune - the split gill,

 

Clitocybe nebularis - the clouded funnel.

[Ratman]

Those first ones look like bloody human innards [emoji15][emoji37] they’re not right!

[AJStrees]

A nice selection. I was wondering what Lepista nuda - the Wood Blewit was because we had some of that the other day where I work. 

[AJStrees]

There has been a selection of mushrooms around this last week. Can't tell you what they all are. But it would be worth knowing as they are all in easily accessible areas.

2nd set look edible ?
