It looks a bit like honey fungus to me.

Some people get hysterical at the mention of it but it's not necessary,
it
comes sometimes in my garden but not often. It's particularly keen on
cut-down trees or shrubs.

Thanks, Mary. If it isn't honey fungus, that's a nice enough name for me
want to use your suggestion anyway. It certainly appeared where I had
deposited shredded tree limbs and shrub clippings.

It can be eaten, some like it. I haven't tried it.

I'm not *that* adventurous either :-)

Oh it's not that, we eat a lot of fungi which appear in the garden (things
like blewits and oysters), trouble is that I don't know what the best time
to eat honey fungus is and I always leave it too late to pick them and they
liquify!
