Graphis scripta, Glenkinnon, 17/04/2016
Lots of lirellate lichen in the area on ash and hazel, some of which I have samples of waiting to be examined. This one went under the lens last night though.

A walk in the woods
Outside of Fife - this time in Selkirkshire at Glenkinnon Burn - a remarkable place for lichens though bryology was ostensibly the purpose of the visit. Here's the lovely Peltigera praetexta

Lochgelly East, NT29
Loch Gelly is an interesting spot because half of it is in NT19 and half in NT29. The split is immediately where I park so I can go either way. First couple of lunchtime forays though I have chosen the under-recorded NT29 square.
Among a routine set of species, mostly already recorded in NT29, I have found a couple of nice things. The first is Parmotrema perlatum, which I mistook for Hypotrachyna revoluta. The second is Ramalina fraxinea. The latter appears to be woefully under-recorded in Fife while the county is bordered north and south by blanket coverage of presence in every square. that probably tells its own tale.
