Some more lichen detail from the wooden seat outside the local shop. I think there are examples here of crustose (grey crusty one at the very bottom with raised plateaux), foliose (blue-grey lobed one on the lower right that looks like waves in a storm), leprose (powdery yellow one in the bottom right corner that's growing on something else), and fruticose (grey-green branched one top left) species, all in one shot.

These are growing between two of the slats forming the back of the seat, a shadier and more protected spot than the previous post which was of part of the sitting surface of the seat.

Closeup of different species of lichen growing on a wooden slat. There are several curled lichens here in shades of grey and green, and a grey one which looks like an upside-down root ball from a plant. There are also brown, yellow and white-grey crusty lichens
