Looks like yeast to me.  I'd have a taste of the beer and if it tastes OK then it should be fine.  I've seen yeast do similar things, although not quite that lumpy.  I'd just bottle it while trying to avoid the lumps.

Mmmm chunky!!

 

Sorry, I have no experience with this. If it was me I would probably rack to a bottling vessel avoiding the lumps and bottle... I would probably taste the brew to make sure it was tasting ok before I went to the trouble of bottling tho as that could be something other than the yeast you actually want growing in your beer.

 

Have you ever had something like this stuff floating around in your brew before?? I am interested to know what it might be so I will know what to do if my brew looks like that!

Actually looks like big chunks for protein trub to me... did you chill this in your fermenter? Either way... yeast or protein - just rack into a bottling bucket for bulk priming - I'd be suprised if it makes it past the tap on the way out (or siphon hose for that matter...).
