it looks more witches butter than like a lichen.!! Drew - take also a look at : " Femsjonia pezizaeformis " ( http://www.google.nl/search?hl=nl&q=Femsjonia%20pezizaeformis&psj=1&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.r_qf.,cf.osb&biw=1112&bih=689&wrapid=tlif133082061951610&um=1&ie=UTF-8&tbm=isch&source=og&sa=N&tab=wi&ei=LLZST97lMNPL8QP7--jwBQ ), or other jelly like fungi which are common where you live. good luck!

I've been searching for a different species of fungi that match what I found but had no luck so far but I think it is in the same family as the witches butter
