Cley Churchyard
Lichen 1
Lichen 2
Dry, curled up Capillary Thread-moss (Bryum capillare)
Myrio albescens (All snail grazed)
A Caloplaca sp, with the white thallus of Diplotomma alboatrum to the left
(note the powdery looking apothecia). It’s not clear if the scurfy area below
the Caloplaca is part of that species’ thallus, or possibly something else like a Verrucaria.
Diploicia canescens.
On Lime and Beech
Opegrapha varia
Most likely a Lecanora, but this would require microscopy and chemical tests.
The image on the FSC chart for Churchyard lichens points towards Leconora polytropa
Opegrapha calcarea, with a bit of Diploicia canescens and Myriolecis dispersa agg. at the top
The lichen with the thick black prothallus is mysterious – can’t immediately think of anything similar I have seen.
The others are more familiar – yellow is Candelariella vitellina, and white is Porpidia tuberculosa.
I will have to investigate the mystery one, whereabouts in the churchyard was it?
Tephromela atra
Opegrapha calcarea
Porpidia tuberculosa
Candelariella vitellina

Intermediate Screw-moss (Syntrichia imtermedia)
