A Rich Assemblage

Yesterday, we added the following to Twitter: rather naughtily including … @BLSlichens … (in the Real World, the British Lichen Society) in our Twittering in the Hope they might Ride to our Rescue!


'So much to see? Lichens, including assumed, Xanthoria parietina and Lecanora muralis, have set up Home on a Pavement (in the 'Local Monad') ~ 26 November 2018 [but is there anything else lurking down there?] … @BLSlichens …'

And Wow: @BLSlichens, Super-Kindly came to our Rescue with a Wonderful and Pleasant Surprise to meet us on Waking this Morning, viz. 'Utterly fascinating, rich assemblage for pavement lichens! Yes to Xanthoria parietina and Lecanora muralis, plus probable L.albescens and L. dispersa. At least three more a bit risky to try to identify from this, maybe a Caloplaca and Rinodina Oleae. Probably molluscs lurking…'

Wow: a Million, Zillion Thanks, to the British Lichen Society.
