Yes
These are on an old pine log in NW Scotland

The first photo is from a couple of days ago and unfortunately hasn't recorded the colour correctly. There were bright lemon yellow. The largest was a little over 1cm in diameter.

They darkened through yesterday and other photo is a close up of one of them from this morning.

I've looked online but haven't found anything that looks like them.

Does anyone know what it is?

That's a good one! That lemon yellow colour is quite unusual and there's nothing obviously like it in Roger Phillips' book that I could find.

If you're dying to know, try and get in contact with John Wright who has written a few books on mycology for the River Cottage brand. My wife has messaged him on a few occasions with unusual fungi and he's always been very helpful. I think he at least has a twitter account. If you can ID the wood that they were on, that would probably help too.
 
Thank you all. Having seen the photos that Gav added it is clearly a species of Stemonitis.

We thought it might be a slime mould but were more used to the dog's vomit type and hadn't seen on that looked like this.

Cheers
