Solved Help identify my picture

Hi could anyone please identify what my pictures shows, it seems to dry up and go away in the winter. Its back now and looks horrible, I have no idea what it could be.

 

It looks like some sort of algae to me...
I get it growing on the soil when it’s damp. When it is growing well, you don’t really notice it (unless you slip on it!). In the summer, when it dries up a little, it wrinkles up like in your picture....

 

Horrid looking stuff...used to have it in our old garden.

Quote wiki....Nostoc commune is a species of cyanobacterium in the family Nostocaceae. Common names include star jelly, witch's butter, mare's eggs, fah-tsai and facai.

Tremella mesenterica...common name Witches butter is normally a glorious rich golden yellow.

This is where common names can lead to confusion.
Nostoc commune and Tremella mesenteric are very different.

I added links above after you posted...sorry we clashed.

 

It is horrible looking but Thank you all for your comments, much appreciated.
