Haematomma ochroleucum perhaps. Whitish or grey white thallus with a distinctive 'fringed' white prothallus.

Confirmed as Haematomma ochroleucum var porphyria

Lecanora campestris perhaps.

I suspect this is not Lecanora campestris, the thallus of that species is
usually more grey-green with a white fimbriate margin, and the apothecia more even-sized.
A candidate might be Lecanora horiza, but would need microscopy to confirm.

The yellow one is Caloplaca flavescens. A crustose lichen with lobed margins and a whitish centre. Orange apothecia with paler margins.

Confirmed

Caloplaca flavescens, a few apothecia of Lecanora crenulata and
the main species possibly Lecidella stigmatea, but would need microscopy to confirm.

Two species here, my best guess would be Rhizocarpon reductum and Aspicilia calcarea,
but would need chemical test confirmation

Opegrapha calcarea
