Another couple of cries for, if not a specific identity, then some help getting me in the approximate ballpark, please!
First up is this curiosity. On a west facing boulder, low in a drystone wall bordering a small, formerly shrub-filled garden, this irregular shaped white form has, on close inspection, fluffy soredia. I can't find any other examples of it anywhere else here on the island.
I'm wondering about Pertusaria?

And this pale ivory-coloured thing... I'm stumped by. Found only on one small section of drystone wall bordering the open moor, and on some erratics in the moor itself.

Re: Shetland Lichens. A journey...
You may recall earlier in this thread I found some Caloplaca that perplexed. I wondered about C. thallincola, but there were some features wiser folk found puzzling.
Here's another, from a few miles away. Am hopeful this is a more convincing candidate for C. thallincola?
