Some tidy shots fellas.

 

White one could possibly be one of the powder lichens Tony, Lepraria sp?

 

 

Think this one may be one of the nitrogen sensitive blue-grey foliose lichens, Evernia prunastria

Mmmmm...from wiki(d) re:Evernia prunastria.

"Oakmoss, also known as Evernia prunastri, is a type of lichen used extensively in modern perfumery. This lichen can be found in many mountainous temperate forests throughout the Northern Hemisphere"

 

Oakmoss branches are typically quite a bit pointy compared...

Pretty sure it's not Sean.

 

There are a lot of similar looking Lichens, these two are different in colour and have a slight but notably different blade.

 

 

But I'm certainly no expert.

 

Here's but a few.........

 

Leafy lichens

 

Fruticose

 

Crustose sterile
