For all that lichens are fungi, and by no means just one taxonomic group within the fungi, separating them is a good idea. They are highly photogenic and it could be an attractive Gallery, though a major challenge to photographic technique. (Many completely defeat autofocus cameras, and the digital viewfinders of modern compacts don't have sufficient resolution for accurate manual focus.)

I am afraid I have had to query a couple of the existing names, though. Sorry.

Hi Alan,

I was hoping someone would come along with experience of lichen

Thanks for the ID corrections in the Gallery. Lets hope we see many more interesting species in the months to come.

WAB is grateful to have you onboard

John
