Orange Lichen for ID please

[pammosley]

Hi folks, my first venture to these pages
This must be common, found on a concrete/stone post.
Is it Caloplaca species?



Many thanks for looking

[ashgale]

i would have said this was a Xanthoria sp, possibly parietina,

which seems to be one of the more widespread species,
but thats only my guess, and my knowledge of lichens is very skimpy indeed

i'm sure one of the experts will give you a more positive id on this one,

Many thanks Ashgale for looking. I`ll have a look at that family
I`m just starting to look at Lichens & appreciate the help

Yes, this is Xanthoria parietina.
