It's so small, it hardly seems worth the trouble for even a taste.

p.s. I'm NOT suggesting that anyone go out and try it for me!!!

Wikipedia says that Jelly fungus is edible... Don't know if I dare taste it. (What's if I've got the ID wrong!!)
Does anyone have previous experience with eating this?

It's a jelly fungus. I have a similar spotting: http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/708... Check the ID here and see if you think it is the same.
