Left, a green alga, probably Desmococcus olivaceum.
There are a few lichens that look similar, but the patchy growth on old fenceposts is very typical of this species.
Centre, Hypogymnia physodes, a common species on nutrient-poor wood in places where atmospheric pollution is not too severe.
Right, Cladonia coniocraea, most common on stumps, logs and mossy bark.
