I would have said a type of Peltigera Dog Lichens, but the whole surface seems to be fertile and those hairs ?
There is an expert on Lichen's, not sure if he's about though.

In the meantime KT, try finding Alan Silverside's web site on lichens.

This is certainly a Dog Lichen Peltigera, but I struggle to get these to species.
The likeliest one in England is P. membranacea. This has bottle-brush shaped rhizines (the 'hairs' alluded to on the lower surface, and a tomentose upper surface. There are no fruiting bodies (apothecia) visible in the photo.
