Gunk in resivor

Noticed my 07 150 45k miles has some kind of "gunk" in the coolant reservoir. Anyone know what's up with that? Checked my wifes 2007 Edge 25k miles and she also has the same "gunk" in it.

ETA: my awsome spelling skills are shown in the title.

Not worried about it in the reservoir... But does my whole system look like this? Channels in the block, radiator, etc. If so then I am worried about it.
