Some cute #mosses on my afternoon walk today. Love how #moss and #lichen cohabitates so happily together. Makes little mosaics on stone, branches, and the trunks of trees.

Portraits of some of the recent lichens I've met. My guesses as to IDs:
* Flavoparmelia caperata
* A nice moss that looks like asparagus tips, with Xanthoria parietina & physcia adscendens (?) growing through / around it
* Parmotrema, physcia & candelariella
* Caloplaca species

Some lichen finds, plus (what I think might be) a slime mould
* Various crustose species on the back of a gravestone
* Slime mould (?) that appeared within a few minutes of wetting this old gate beam
* Patterns on lichen on an old wooden seat
* A cladonia species growing amongst moss on an old wooden fence
Edit: Consensus seems to be that it's not a slime mold, but likely a fungus. Still interesting!

Trumpet Lichen (Cladonia fimbriata) growing between Haircap moss and stones
A pretty little patch of Xanthoria Parietine #lichen. I think I'm growing a little Shrek in my garden.
Some lichen patterns. I particularly like how #3 and its 3D, overlapping lobes turned out, but then #4 has lovely shapes and colours. I like #2's demilitarised zones between colonies. And then #1's yellow blobs on black and white is pretty cool too. I guess they're all my favourite...
