More lichen

I decided to venture out into the woods again to look for another kind of lichen and once I got my eye in I was spoilt for choice. Back home I had the tricky job of tracking down the names of the ones I had spotted. Fortunately, several months ago I had bought a book called "Atlantic Hazel - Scotland's Special Woodlands" so this was perfect to guide me in the right direction as the woods I had walked through were hazel woods. So, I can say with confidence that this is a photograph of Green Satin Lichen (Lobaria virens) and I do think that seems a very suitable name.
