What on earth is this in my garage?

In the rafters of our garage there are a few planks of mdf that's been there for years.

Today DH was in the garage and happened to look up and spot this mystery thing stuck to one of the planks.

It's about the size of a 50p piece, jelly like and orange.

It's an alien.

BlackboardMonitorVimes · 21/05/2020 19:20

DH works with wood and he has never seen something like that. He says 'especially not from mdf'.

So, I agree. Alien.

Probably just a slime mold

JetSetGo · 21/05/2020 19:23

Its a type of mould. Had this years ago around some window frames in a shared house i moved into when I first left home. Strange orange. I used to piss out of the window at night because i couldnt be bothered to go to the loo downstairs. Ive always wondered if it was relalated.

Nameisthegame · 21/05/2020 19:32

userxx · 21/05/2020 19:34

VelociraptorRex · 21/05/2020 19:39

Well that took an, e, interesting turn very quickly Grin

I'm going with an alien from the planet Jaffa.

pooopypants · 21/05/2020 19:50

Well. That escalated quickly Hmm

Bluetrews25 · 21/05/2020 19:55

If it was on wood I would say it was resin - had this on a window frame once.
It's an alien, obvs. A cousin of that green shite flubber.

@HollowTalk

ElectricTonight · 21/05/2020 20:03

Isit that gooey stuff what you see on trees sometimes?

ElectricTonight · 21/05/2020 20:04

My first thought was honey 🍯 Grin

Chatons · 21/05/2020 20:17

Alienus marmaladus, to give it its Latin name.

amber763 · 21/05/2020 20:20

@Nameisthegame Oh my god! I had one of these! Used to piss into bottles after I'd gone to bed because he "didnt want to wake me up".

Lydial · 21/05/2020 20:21

Who you gonna call?
Ghostbusters!

tanstaafl · 21/05/2020 20:23

Is it firm?
Looks like a beer bottle top that’s gone rusty/mouldy

Nameisthegame · 21/05/2020 20:23

@amber763 ewww he used to wizz in his sink in his bedroom.

Nameisthegame · 21/05/2020 20:25

It was those big water bottles the sort of large square ones with the handle he used to keep them in his wardrobe 🤮 very brief relationship after he reveled his water closet.

Lydial · 21/05/2020 20:28

Jokes aside, I think this is jelly fungus

Hunnybears · 21/05/2020 20:33

Honey? 😃

Bleepbloopblarp · 21/05/2020 20:39

It looks like a squashed orange fruit pastille to me.

Bluntness100 · 21/05/2020 20:41

My votes for fruit pastille too.

abigailthespiderinthehat · 21/05/2020 20:41

Taste it and see

WhoWouldHaveThoughtThat · 21/05/2020 20:57

What does it taste like? If it tastes of orange it is orange jelly, if it doesn't don't eat it.
