This is a large genus, found on poor soils, logs and tree stumps. Some are easily recognisable as "scarlet pixie caps" but others produce brown reproductive structures. |

One of my favorite lichens! Without the bright red knobs (spore-bearing structures called apothecia), this one would be hardly noticeable. I have found it on rotting wood on the edge of the bush, and on the bark of a fallen pine tree. Height: 2-3cm |

This one is always easy to recognise with its tapering podetia - those tall upright growths. It is usually found on banks amongst mosses. |
