In tissue histology of the gut (the structure described with lumen, epithelial layer, and lamina propria), the layer between the hollow lumen (white) and the connective tissue lamina propria (blue-stained) is the epithelial lining, made of epithelial cells. Mucus is a secretion on top of this layer, a single plasma membrane is not a tissue layer, and the brush border is a specialization on the epithelial cells, not the full layer itself.
