Buying a new lichen field guide and then going out to try to identify as many as possible was amazingly humbling. I'm gonna need someone to hold my hand through this process, because it's more difficult than I thought. If you are good at this, I need your help--it might be good to know these are all on Great Blue Hill, on a wet day. Ready? Here goes:


Porpidia crustulata, Concentric boulder lichen.



Unidentified crustose lichen on rock.


Flavoparmelia caperata, Green tree shield lichen.


Xanthoparmelia sp.


Unknown crustose lichen on rock.


Possibly Arctoparmelia centrifuga.
