Lichen - Lecanora symmicta

Many thanks to Kay Newbury at Reading University for the identification of this Lichen species - Lecanora symmicta - A crustose lichen found on the bark of trees. Noticeable because of the greenish discs that often cover its surface. Only the very youngest discs have a different colour edge to them. Easiest to find on trees that stand alone and therefore get more light on their bark.

Basic species description for Lichens.
