Enchylium bachmanianum es un liquen cianobacteriano gelatinoso de color oscuro que forma pequeños lóbulos en forma de gelatina sobre superficies rocosas húmedas, suelos y musgos en hábitats húmedos. Contiene fotobiontes cianobacterianos en su talo, lo que le permite fijar nitrógeno. Clasificado como Casi Amenazado, este liquen inconspicuo es sensible al desecamiento del hábitat, las perturbaciones y la pérdida de microhábitats estables y húmedos en su área de distribución europea.
