Hi Jen. It looks a possibility. I'm not very good with lichens but this is a good place to start looking. http://www.britishlichens.co.uk/pictureindex.html I'll have a look through some images. |

thank you for that link , Dave ....... i wonder if it's one of those Squamulose lichens there is an orange . Xanthoria aureoria but it's tricky . it's certainly not clear cut . I forgot to use the little loop i had in my bag which might have shed more light on the pattern . I think they're very intriguing |

I can't seem to find anything other than Cladonia cristatella in that type of lichen, John. |
