This week I began a 10-week course in #lichen identification and, following the maxim that faint heart never won fair lady, I have begun by trying to identify one of the most notoriously difficult lichens, a Cladonia.
This on a Scots pine and has all the characteristics of Cladonia polydactyla. I have some chemical tests and a scaled image to complete but these are a good start (and check out the tiny springtail which was barely visible to the naked eye).
