Enchylium bachmanianum é um cianolíquen gelatinoso de coloração escura que forma pequenos lobos semelhantes a geleia sobre superfícies rochosas úmidas, solo e musgos em habitats húmidos. Contém fotobiontes de cianobactérias em seu talo, permitindo a fixação de nitrogênio. Quase Ameaçado, este líquen inconspícuo é sensível à dessecação do habitat, perturbações e à perda de micro-habitats estáveis e úmidos na sua área de ocorrência europeia.
