close up photo of a well hydrated, translucent, green, frilly lichen.

Another jelly lichen from the back garden; a big, lush colony of Scytinium gelatinosum growing on my door step, where the gutter drips onto concrete.

Scytinium gelatinosum grows well on damp concrete and mortar, but I do see it out in the wild on coastal rocks, too.

Finally noticed this jelly lichen growing on wooden garden furniture round the back of the house. I've probably been passing it by for years(!) I think it is Scytinium subtile which is rather small, even by jelly lichen standards.

Taking another trip to apothecium town, this time in the company of Leptogium cochleatum - a lovely jelly lichen of mild climes and sheltered shores.

What a thrill...
It's the frilly-fruited jelly lichen, Leptogium burgessii :3
