Re: Scilly Lichens for ID

Hello Aaron, that must have been great trip to the Isles of Scilly but I don't think I'm going to be able to be much help with the lichen....

Cladonia pyxidata - Alan Silverside has some good information here re C. pyxidata and C. pocillum:
Cladonia pocillum (images of British lichens)

Caloplaca marina - doesn't look right
Caloplaca marina (images of British lichens)
and possibly it might be Caloplaca littorea instead

Both your Roccella's look good, though that is only from photo comparisons and details in Dobson's 'Lichens'

Not much help I'm afraid, you need AlanS for these!
