Found on Lundy island 13th July 2011. This stunning and rare Lichen proved quite difficult to photograph given the location and very bright sunlight

Well you certainly managed to overcome those difficulties John! - Great images of a lichen that is high on my list of those I'd like to see.

Regards, Mike.

Thanks Mike

I didn't see too much Fungi in Cornwall or Devon but the Lichens on Lundy made up for that!

Very nice shot of this rare and vulnerable species. Anyone now rushing off to Lundy might want to know that there is a very good booklet on Lundy lichens, entitled, appropriately, "Lundy Lichens", by Ann Allen, published by the Lundy Field Society. 48 pages, lots of good colour photos. See http://www.thebls.org.uk/content/public.html for details of how to obtain it.
