Scilly Lichens for ID

I got a bit carried away with photographing the abundant and beautiful lichens while in Scilly and have ended up with about 70 photos to sort. I have given names to the selection here and would be grateful for any thoughts. I am highly unconvinced by most of the IDs I have come up with.

Peltigera hymenina? - in short grass on edge of cliff


Ochrolechia parella? - on coastal rocks


Cladonia pyxidata? - in barish area on cliff-top


Cladonia chlorophaea? - in short cliff-top turf


Caloplaca marina? - on stone walls close to the sea


Roccella phycopsis? - on coastal rock


Roccella fuciformis? - on coastal rock


Cladonia portentosa? - on lichen heath


and one I am sure of
Golden Hair-lichen (Teloschistes flavicans)


Any help appreciated - more batches of pics coming this way soon
Thanks
Aaron
