A few lichens on this rock

Hi Adam - white one = Ochrolechia parella, yellow = Xanthoria parietina.
Details not clear enough on the brown one but its either Xanthoparmelia pulla, X. loxodes or Melanelixia fuliginosa

Thanks Jenny, does this close-up help?

What are the small pink blobs where the rock is cracked?

(They are vaguely myxo like, but I can't make out any detail).

Regards,
Mike.

They're a plant, some kind of succulent, I suppose.

Ah yes, I see it now.

I don't know why I couldn't see it before, and was thinking they were individual pink blobs, (a bit like dehiscing Arcyria denudata) but they are obviously red succulent "leaves" - probably of a Stonecrop - maybe Sedum anglicum.

Regards,
Mike.

Thanks for the extra image - probably Xanthoparmelia pulla and yes, Sedum anglicum for the succulent red leaves
