Re: Xanthoria sp ??

From the image i would think Xanthoria polycarpa, but microscopy is the
definative. seeing rather a lot of lichen on trees at the moment looking very
dry and shriveled, but i'm sure as soon as there is rain they will look healthy
again, know little about them but marvel at their ability to survive.

Cheers J.P.
