Crescent-cup liverwort

The main body of this odd-looking plant is the undifferentiated vegetative tissue called a thallus, which is characteristic to some algae, fungi, lichens, and liverwort. Crescent-cup liverwort is usually found in shaded and moist areas of the garden. When it doesn't have enough moisture, crescent-cup liverwort becomes yellowish.
