Last summer this lichen covered many of the trees where I live. I'm not sure if it is linked, but over the past 8 months loads of trees have died.

It is prolific, covering not only hedges and trees, but walls and roofs too.

Sadly I can't seem to upload any images as I keep getting an error message telling me my file size is too big - any ideas?
