Probably Tremella mesenterica, also called, wonderfully, Yellow Brain amongst other things But possibly Dacrymyces palmatus

Thanks Bobins. I am liking Yellow Brain, typical habitat and that bright yellow colour give it the nod over the other possibility you mentioned.

Crap (phone) pictures of the day.
Got the negative test results - after I had told the garage we couldn't bring the C3 in so had to reverse that and drop it off, followed by a long walk home - long walk for me anyway.

Lots of fly tipping in the wooded areas on the way back, mostly close to a service station on the A1M.
Then past what used to be a school playing field and now becoming a housing estate.

Intrigued by this. Such small 'rooms' and so many waste pipes.

I'm presuming public toilets, seems odd on a housing estate.

Also this:

Hard to see, even IRL. Some wag has 'Banksy'd' some writing and images of sorts into the footpath using nails. The nail heads have acquired asphalt from the path so black-on-black.
Anyone's guess what it is supposed to say but top marks for innovation.

My guess is "Mack & Dawn"

[myglaren]

Quite possibly Mick.

Quite possibly Mick.

I went for MACA + DAWN. I could imagine a MACA doing it! If DAWN had done it I would hope she would have the confidence to put her name first!

When the new shops were being built in my village in County Durham in round about 1969, there were a few "tubes" of some sort of building mastic lying around the site. Used for a bit of writing on the new walls by yours truly and others including the CT half of the subject of the writing. 50 years later, but only if you know it is there, a now very discrete CT=AL on the brickwork of 3 of the shops is still there.

Impressive! Back in the days when I used to commute to London on the train I occasionally saw the overhead lines coated in ice like that... The result was a quite spectacular and continuous arc between the line and the locomotive's pantograph, most impressively when a fast non-stop express passed through whilst we commuters awaited our cattle truck...

I tried that Neil but when I got to the second line I was drowned out by Blur and Parklife which led to an interesting video featuring the rarest of 3.0 litre Fords:
