    Any thoughts about this one, please? It is something like Polycauliona candelaria or ucrainica, but beyond that I hesitate to say.

    K+red, evenly coloured upper surface (though there is not much of it), no rhizines, no conidia encountered.

    It is from an elder twig seen on the BLS summer meeting in Worcestershire. I haven’t come across any more of it yet, so it would be nice to name it to species if possible, but it is such a tiny scrap maybe that is unrealistic.

      I have sympathy with the idea that Polycauliona candelaria and P. ucrainica are the same species; they are certainly not easy to seperate. I would like larger thalli but, as stated, it seems closer to P. ucrainica.
