Re: Northumberland Lichen

Hi Black,

No. 1 looks like Evernia prunastri - often common on trees but only rarely on rocks. In naming it as this, I am assuming it is much paler underneath, which seems to be the case from your photograph. Otherwise it would be a Ramalina, but that would take us to a group of rarer species, none of which it seems to fit.

No. 2 is Tephromela atra.

No. 3 is Parmelia saxatilis.

Alan
