This appears to be Cladonia polydactyla - cup-forming and grey-sorediate.

Always difficult to get a stacked image with Cladonia - usually some hygroscopic movement giving halo effects. It has worked well here!

Very nice work indeed!

I saw a red-tipped Cladonia up on The Cairnwell in the Cairngorms but I was stalking ptarmigan at the time. I meant to go back for it but ran out of time.

Thanks Alan and Dave P.

I realised the difficulty in stacking with overlapping objects when I took this one. Thanks for the I.D. AlanS
