A bit confusing this as the leaf above shows no teeth.

But as Julia pointed out (Thank you)

• Lf bases are very narrowly decurrent (had to look long and hard on this)

• No teeth on the fresh new leaves of the specimen (but found toothed leaves amongst older parts). Smith says: 'margins sometimes entire in plants in dry habitats.', although teeth maybe 'obsolete' in P. rostratum.

• Laminal cells porose (not or hardly so in P.rostratum).

Cladonia digitata was the original thought but helpful comments from Norfolk's Lichen recorder

suggest this is actually Caldonia polydactyla. Reasoning - the squamules are too incised for digitata.

Interestingly the next three images show an infertile mat of squamules that are rounded and with upturned edges, which is right for

Norfolk Recorder's Comments

The proliferating Cladonia I couldn’t get to anything else but chlorophaea s. lat despite
it looking very different from the other more conventional cupped chlorophaea.
I suspect it is a different species, but needs specialist determination.



After drying this one turned out to be Lecanora conizaeoides (P+ reaction) rather than L symmicta
