Lichens started - Xanthoria parietina

Kicked off the Lichen list after noticing Elders crawling with them in the car park and embankment area. This yellow Lichen is especially noted for being on Elders apparently. The Elders seem to be hosts also to a greenish lichen (2? one leafy, one scaly?) and a moss, which I'll leave for later.
