30 Days Wild 2022:Day 3: Lichen walk NE of Winskill Stones

Day 3 was to be a walk to the monad beyond Winskill Stones. But I had problems parking, and ended up using all my time exploring the adjacent field still in the same monad as Winskill Stones.. to be more specific exploring the lichens on one rock. 

I intended parking at the NE end of  the road through the Plant life Winskill Stones reserve - but would have had to share the parking spaced with young cattle who had the freedom to roam from the fenced field just to the south of this point and the reserve. And they seemed interested in my car. So I parked away from them just over the cattle grid, and walked thought the adjacent field to the NNE of the reserve

There was another fairy ring of St George's mushrooms in this field too:

There are areas of limestone pavement in the field. This clifflet has a big patch of the lichen Placynthium nigrum

Placynthium nigrum  has a navy blue edge to the thallus

On a glacial erratic nearby was some
Parmelia omphalodes

Lambs camouflaging themselves as lichens - maybe Placynthim nigrum

Now here are some lichens that I have not yet been able to identify  - Any suggestions please?

A is a Black Jelly Lichen. It did not have any fruiting bodies.

B, from a distance looked like a black dot Verrucaria , but a close up shows it has flat fruiting bodies, not the small immersed globular apothecia of Verrucaria  It turned K yellow.(see lower)

B

lichen B

Lichen B with KOH

 C from a distance reminded me of  Porpidia tuberculosa. with punctiform soralia that were an iridescent purple blue grey.

But

Porpidia tuberculosa grows on acidic rock - this is limestone

It has very obvious areoles. Maybe the blue grey blobs are just pruinose fruiting bodies of Aspicilia calcarea. - Needs more work.

Lichen C

lichen C.   No reaction with added KOH solution. 

Here is another lichen that intrigues me. 

Is it a new species of Lecanora (for me) or is it just Lecanora albescens gone peculiar. 

Elsewhere on that rock, on a flat area, and with a blackish thallus was this lichen. Could it be another Lecanora.

The wall in the picture is the parish boundary between Langcliffe and Stainforth.

Right I have written up Day 3.  It is now Day 4 - The activity will be a visit to Langcliffe village Green where at midday we are celebrating we are celebrating the Queen's Jubilee.
