Jelly lichen is a unique type of fungus that thrives mainly on damp rocks and tree bark. This mushroom prefers shadowy, humid environments and can often be found in woodlands and near water sources. Its appearance includes a jelly-like, rubbery texture which helps it retain moisture. Jelly lichen plays a role in the ecosystem by partaking in nutrient cycles and supporting habitat diversity.
