(Grateful thanks to the Norfolk Lichen Recorder for the id)

Originally recorded in 1968 and mentioned in the

Brown & Brown Paper from that date.

A crustose lichen with muhsroom like stalked apothecia.

Main Key in Dobson
Thallus crustose or absent
Thallus not crustode-plocodioid
Podetai,pseudopodetia or mushroom shaped - Key E

Mushroom shaped
Baeomyces - Thallus granular to squamulose. Apothecia pink to brown on stalks

Growing on a lens of sand.

Thallus finely granular - Baeomyces rufus



Dry





Wet

Using Dobson

Thallus squamalose Key c

Apothecia brown k- or if absent, squamules never with ornage on uhderside - 10
Primary thallus squamulose or ± absent. Podetai prominent or not - 11 (In this case there were no podetia
Thallus predominately oof primary squamules- 21
Thallus c- 22

it is quite difficult because the next couplet distinguishes between squamules yellowish and squamules white.

But these are white? and you need to take -23
to get to the species.
