Orange lichen, probably Xanthomendoza fallax

Another pretty lichen photographed by Barry. Lichens are often overlooked by people, perhaps because they appear insignificant until you look closely, as Barry did here, through his macro lens. Thanks to Colin Freebury we now know that this lichen is most likely Xanthomendoza fallax. It is terrific that Colin can help us out, because we know how difficult it is to ID most taxa (whether insects, lichens, fungi, etc.) from photos.
