Could be yeast, could be hop residue, could be trub. I doubt it's an issue, but post a picture if you're really worried.

It is yeast. Don't worry about it. Rack under it and all will be good. 05 is very similar to Kolsch yeast. Kolsch yeast is sticky and gooey but it rocks.
It's just one of the many ugly ways PERFECTLY NORMAL krausens form during fermentation. Fermentation is often ugly and stinky, ON NORMAL DAYS.

Yup I have a 2L starter going right now with S-05 and the top is covered with yeast.. it's also stuck to the sides. I'm pitching this bad boy in a few hours so i'll use a sanitized spoon to scrape it of the sides so I get all the yeasties in my wort! :rockin:
About 3 years late to the party here, but I had the same issue with us-05, I have used saf-04, saf33 and nottingham before, and they all looked slightly different, but all more foamy and less viscous and "slimy" looking.
