Several days ago I was surprised to see a yellowy orange fungus which felt like soft rubber and seemed to cover several wild garlic plants so took some photos.  This morning I returned to the woods and noticed that it had become larger and had engorged more leaves and flowers so think it might be a jelly blob fungus Tremella aurantia which grows on dead wood that has been attacked by wood-rotting fungi.  When the weather is damp it is jelly-like then shrivels up in dry weather into convoluted shapes so it must have been gelatinous when the wild garlic flowers were growing and leaves which were green last week have now turned brown under the fungus.
