This fungus is found almost exclusively on dead branches of Elder bushes. It's scientific name is Auricularia auricula-judae, Jew's Ear, but many people have taken to calling it Jelly Ear to avoid causing offence.

If you touch it it has just the feel of a human ear, slightly downy. Slightly creepy!
