Is this ok for Cladonia polydactyla, please? It is on one of the fallen oak-trunks at Speech House in the Dean. From memory, it was on relatively recent fallen material – down in the last 5 years perhaps, still with some bark – not the ancient iron-hard stuff. I didn’t test it when I was there, just took a pretty photo (bad!)
I’m concerned by the yellow colour of the basal squamules in the foreground, and they look quite big compared to the podetia too.
