I don't know if these references are developed enough to help you, Sally, 
but Irigaray mentions mucosity/mucous membranes in "Love of Same, Love of 
the Other," in _Ethics of Sexual Difference_, and also in passage "X" in 
_Elemental Passions_. You might also want to look at "The Maternal 
Order," in _je, tu, nous_: it's an interview with Helene Rouch that looks 
at what Irigaray calls the "placental economy," and she uses this notion 
in much the same way as the notion of mucosity.

Hope this helps.
