Witch's Butter

It's getting warmer and it's wet.  Some of the mushrooms and fungi are fruiting.  Pretty sure this is Witch's Butter.  There are two other fungi that look much like it but they are all considered edible.  (Well, they won't kill you.)  Witch's Butter falls into the category of 'survival meal' - i.e. it's easy to find but no reason to eat it unless you are really hungry.   The taste has been compared to Vaporub.  It causes your tounge to tingle but there isn't much taste.  Can always throw it into a soup/stew to add nutrients though.

So when I visit, another reason to let you take a few bites of your meal before I eat it.
