    Wandering through Trelissick Gardens, Cornwall a few days ago, I saw this lichen growing with these mosses.
    Any ideas as to which they are? Lichens B  01 - small.jpg Lichens B  03 - small.jpg
    This is one of the tallus/talli(?) I inverted and then replaced Lichens B  02 - small.jpg mosses  01 - small.jpg mosses  02 - small.jpg mosses  03 - small.jpg
    TIA

      Lichens are really hard to id often needing a hand lens accompanied by an expert to id them.

        Thanks, Janet
        I stuffed up. They aren't lichen, but liverworts growing with mosses.
        No idea where my head was when I tagged them as lichen.:oops:
        I'll just have to plead old age and insanity, I guess. :old::old:
