Two of our commonest shield #lichens conveniently growing side by side for comparison. Both characterised by white cracking (pseudocyphellae) on the upper surface, with Parmelia sulcata (top left) with powdery #soredia and P. saxatilis (top right) with finger-like #isidia.

Huge thanks to Cumbria Fire & Rescue Service, the Westmorland and Furness Council Lake Wardens and the Lakes Rangers for their rapid response to this fire on Windermere. Everywhere is tinder dry, and the damage caused by an accidental fire may take decades to recover. Please - light no fires.
