Yet another Unidentified fungus :)

I've been sent a pic asking if I could post it here for help with identification, please.

The picture is named Tyntesfield roof 20, so I am guessing it is on the roof of Tyntesfield House, North Somerset.
Thank You

Hi,

Its a slime mould, Fuligo septica maybe.

I think this one is more likely to be Mucilago crustacea due to the lack of colour and the fact it's not directly on wood.

Thanks for the i.d's
Just after I posted, I had a quick scan through the fungus identifier on left side there (I haven't seen the fungus myself) but I did think the picture of Mucilago crustacea looked similar, I started out by searching for cauliflower fungus, as that's what it made me think of, but then I find there really is a cauliflower fungus hehe.
