Hiya, yes, I thought it somewhat thicker than Mollisia, so made that suggestion – but I’m sure Mal will be right – too many of those to get further.

If it helps – to get pics resized, I use freeware ‘Picasa’, its a good tool, there are others of course, Lancs Lad uses something else I believe, but that works for me.

Hi Mark, I don’t know, perhaps not enough detail, but does look like an Ascobolus maybe brassicae species.

Glad you replied Mike, that’s about what my thoughts were – perhaps wind-blown pollen from another flower?

Not enough detail for the fly either, for me anyway……..

Sorry Nelly!

good one Mike, very, very common round here – but seems localised and in Sheffield a couple of weeks back, should have been expected, but none, so localised and Lancs/W. Yorks is the stronghold ………..

Yes, found some just starting to brown last week in Galloway – its quite common once you have seen/smelt it – brilliant to show folk with its smell of incense -but never, in spite of huge looking, found the cups on the floor berries…………must try harder.

Well done Mike, a great addition to help with Lichen resources/Lichenology – and as Jenny says, Irish stuff is very good for all UK -and Jenny’s own sites I find are very easy, accurate and nice to use………….

In addition:

BLS http://www.britishlichensociety.org.uk/” class=”bbcode_url”>http://www.britishlichensociety.org.uk/

And a couple of good books:

Lichens by Oliver Gilbert, New Naturalist

Lichens by AL Smith, Richmond publishing

You should be able to get these 2nd hand…………

I have gone on to some Flickr sites but the identifications on some are wildly inaccurate………….be warned!

Cheers
