Enchylium conglomeratum, commonly known as dotted jelly lichen, is a species of foliose lichen in the family Collemataceae. Formerly known as Collema conglomeratum, it was renamed in 2013. This lichen has a fragmented distribution across the Holarctic region, occurring in both North America and Europe. Enchylium conglomeratum thrives in relatively acidic conditions and moderate light levels, typically growing on the bark of hardwood trees such as oak and walnut, as well as occasionally on calcareous rocks. Its thallus structure is characterized by diminutive, cushion-like formations with

Scytinium lichenoides, the tattered jellyskin, is a species of lichen in the family Collemataceae. Originally described by Carl Linnaeus in 1753 as Tremella lichenoides, the species has undergone several taxonomic revisions and was transferred to the genus Scytinium in 2013 following molecular phylogenetics studies. It is characterised by its distinctive fringed appearance, with lobe margins bearing numerous small cylindrical outgrowths that give the lichen a tattered look. The species shows a preference for base-rich substrates and typically grows among moss cushions on rock or thin soil

Lathagrium cristatum, the fingered jelly lichen or fingered rock-jelly, is a species of cyanolichen in the family Collemataceae. Originally described by Carl Linnaeus in 1753, the species has a complex taxonomic history involving numerous synonyms and nomenclatural challenges that were only resolved through formal conservation of the name in 1996. The lichen forms distinctive dark olive-green to blackish rosettes on calcareous rocks, with thin, narrow lobes that have characteristically wavy, toothed margins. It has a widespread distribution across the Northern Hemisphere, occurring in diverse

Enchylium polycarpon, commonly known as the shaly jelly lichen, is a species of foliose lichen in the family Collemataceae. Formerly known as Collema polycarpon, it was renamed in 2013 following a taxonomic revision. This lichen has a widespread global distribution, occurring in various regions of North America, Europe, Africa, and Asia. E. polycarpon thrives in moderately alkaline or calcareous environments, preferring moderate to high levels of direct sunlight. It typically grows on calcareous substrates, such as limestone and dolomite rocks, in exposed and periodically wet habitats. Its

Enchylium limosum, commonly known as lime-loving tarpaper lichen, is a species of crustose to subfoliose lichen in the family Collemataceae. This unique lichen species possesses a gelatinous thallus with a dark coloration, contributing to its distinctive appearance. It thrives in a diverse array of habitats spanning temperate to boreal-montane regions, across Europe, North America, Africa, and Asia. The ecological preferences of E. limosum include a notable affinity for calcareous soils. Such soils contain calcium carbonate or lime, hence the species' common name of "lime-loving". This

Paracollema is a small genus of lichen-forming fungi in the family Collemataceae. It comprises two species of jelly lichens, characterised by their small size, gelatinous nature when wet, and distinctive reproductive structures. The genus was proposed in 2013 and later validated in 2017. Paracollema lichens form small, leafy thalli up to 1 cm in diameter, with dark olive green to brownish colouration. They are distinguished from related genera by their very small asci and spores. Both known species are primarily epiphytic and have a limited distribution in southern Europe and northern Africa,
