    post a pic, most fungi are harmless, many beneficial. The popular press dwells on the poisonous.

    It looks like a jelly fungus.  You can remove the fruiting bodies (which is what is in the photo) if you don't like them but the main part of it is in thin sheets underground.  It is doing no harm and is beneficial as it is breaking down dead woody stuff in the soil into a form that plants can use.  Nothing to worry about.

    A trowel in the hand is worth a thousand lost under a bush.

    Thank you so much for your reply Bob

    I will keep digging it out as its in a wooden plant box that my husband made we have it on our decking on our static caravan..this is where I have my Clematis.

    That has put my mind at rest it just looks awful many thanks again.
