Soft to the touch. Copper color.
Found on fallen tree in woods. Are they or the white ones surrounding it edible?
Sorry, I just saw CorduneanuVlad's comment. It is probably Auricularia auricula-judae, even though there are 7 other fungi in the genus.
The whiteish ones are Stereum Ostrea - not edible, but the Jew's Ear (Auricularia Auricula-Judae) is and has medicinal properties (blood thinner).
Here are the links to both mushrooms:
