M.Chapman Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 I suspect this could be Hypogymnia physodes, but it's not easy to tell. Any thoughts? TIA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew Johnson Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 That looks more like Evernia Prunastri. Hypogymnia Physodes appears to be flatter and wider. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sally Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 Just piggy backing here... I had thought that this was Methuselah’s Beard, but may be wrong since I know very little about flora. If not, what is it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allan Ok, thanks, that helps to identify it as Usnea (which Methuselahs Beard is) but getting further than that is very tricky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps reindeer lichen (Cladonia rangiferina) - had the same query myself a year or so ago ...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M.Chapman Posted July 30, 2018 Author Share Posted July 30, 2018 Thanks guys, Evernia seems to be the closest match I can find. Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
