Moss... stags horn?

I have had this character in my garden for a few years now.
Seems to favour little damp nooks and crannies. This year it was spotted in one or two of my large pots.
Its not a problem and quite attractive in a way but it would be nice if someone could put a name to it?
Reminds me of the "Stag Horn" moss that we spotted in Scotland when we last visited, but on a smaller scale.

Maybe Marchantia polymorpha or Aneura pinguis ?

 

Liverwort?

 

Aesculus : Googled liverwort and have to say you seem to be correct
thank you and to Pete as well

I knew that 50p observers book of mosses & Liverworts would come in handy

Just out of curiosity can anyone explain to me the difference between a lichen and a liverwort?

 

This is Stag`s Horn Rob. I think Pete is right with the Liverwort.:gnthb:

 

Aesculus, I think this explains it nicely, in the 4th paragraph -

Funny thing this, I always tend to prefer latin names for what I consider plants, but when it comes to what I consider weeds, the common names always seem best.

I had not realised that Aesculus had posted the latin name for liverwort before I posted.

 

Brilliant thanks very much:gnthb:
