Nostoc commune
A strange patch of very dark green jelly-like shapes which reminded me of the fungus Tremella. The shapes were approximately the same sizes.
Embedded in lawn in front of a suburban hospital. The soil was very poor in nutrients and the area (behind the glass of a busstop) was covered in many different mosses, lichens and fungi.
A pleasant surprise to find this is not a fungus but a cyanobacteria. Read about them here... http://www.anbg.gov.au/bryophyte/ecology... and get a better view of another one here... http://www.aphotoflora.com/cyanobacteria...
