Holme Stinted Pastures

(above) never sure whether this is a lichen or a fungi (lichen I think). I notice that in this area lichens take over all the common hawthorn trees yet is not seen on the Gorse. 

Wow! when mosses interact with lemony green lichens - it is something special.

(above) Love the atmosphere - the foggier the better!

We have started another year and during a stroll along the banks of the River Lune (Kirkby Lonsdale) I found such a large lichen on the floor but probably dropped from the high canopy of the long established decideous trees.  I have been informed that it is called Ramalina fraxinea. It was large at the size of about 8"x6".  Here is a photo of the beauty.

This is most likely to be: Cladonia pyxidata

But other possibilities are: C. pocillum, C. chlorophaea agg or C. monomorpha
