    I've never seen that. What is it? Is it edible?

    It's a fungus. An article I read online said it was edible but very difficult to cook.

    "Nothing is better, slopped over a nice slice of ram's bladder, garnished with shavings of bat wings, than Tremella mesenterica--if you're a witch. If you're not a witch, you're not likely to want to try eating Witch's Butter. Though officially "edible," it is entirely unappetizing, and by most accounts, witchcraft is probably required to cook it without turning it into liquid."
