I think it very likely to be a species of Pycnoporus in the early stages of producing the shelf-like forms of the mature stage. In the beginning you often see what look like shapeless blobs (albeit firm rubbery rather than jelly-like) being extruded exceedingly slowly from the wood. Over time (and it may take many weeks) you see that develop into a form such as the one shown here: http://canberranaturemap.org/Community/Sightings/Details/2727306.
