The image was posted on Nextdoor the local neighbourhood social media platform!
I thought Cyano, may have come from an aquarium as it looks as though there is Fissidens sp next to it.

Hi all,

It will be on a shady gravel path or similar, it is <"common on limestone"> based bare ground.

I think it is in a garden, which probably has a lot of limestone as it is Hemel Hempstead.
The resident is worried that it is not safe for dogs to be around.
Hi all,
It is allegedly edible, but I'll be honest it really doesn't appeal <"Nostoc Num Nums - Eat The Weeds and other things, too">.

I'm pretty sure it is dog safe.

Yes, I read that Darrel might be a tad smelly on the fingers!
Discovered something similar on my roof tiles. Still not certain it ain’t bird poop. Either way it’s a cornucopia of moss.
Hi all,
The "grey, furry" one is a Grimmia pulvinata & the green one a Bryum, Tortula, Synthichium or Barbula sp. <"Common mosses on walls - British Bryological Society">.
Possibly Tortula muralis? Because of the shape and abundance of the capsules?

Not sure, I'm going animal rather than vegetable, but I like the mosses.
