Updated: Xanthoria polycarpa on the Crossness Nature Reserve (and an orange Candelariella vitallina)

2 July 2022: we don't often see Xanthoria polycarpa so it was something of a surprise to find a small population on a fence post on the Crossness Nature Reserve (close to the entrance to the Norman Road Field) viz. 





Footnote: the granular orange lichen (see the third picture: to the left of the picture and lower right) which tested K- is confirmed as Candelariella vitellina. We usually see it in its yellow form but in this instance, it is coloured orange.
