Re: Four more coastal lichen needing ID help

Its good to see you back Alan!
Thank you for the correction and identifications - I've posted a separate thread with what I hope is Solenopsora here: Solenopsora query

A problem you have in W. Ireland is that lichens will often be moister, and hence greener (alga showing through) than pictures in books. And you really shouldn't photograph lichens at all when they are really wet - even common things can look quite different and be difficult to recognise.
Ah, that would explain some of the difficulty I've been having!
