Hi peeps. 
Is this Yellow Brain fungus? Found yesterday in damp leaf litter.

Very interesting, it does look like it. However, I have only ever seen Tremella mesenterica on rotting wood  Any chance of wood beneath your specimen? |

It is possible that there was wood under the moss, I must admit i didn't have a poke around tho.
Are there similar species it could be? |

No, It's probably just fallen into the leaf litter
