Boggy area north of the original Hedgerow.
Sunny but cold.
The Reedmace grows in a large, water-laden field bordered by willow. This specimen is about 2m. tall.
This Usnea - a lichen - is about 8 cm. across.
All of the Willows in this area are literally covered in lichens, as the background shows.
And this is a Parmelia, about 6 cm across.
I'm pretty sure I haven't seen this lichen before. The fruiting bodies can clearly be seen.
Hypogymnia tubulosa.
Another foliose lichen with tiny black sporing structures.
Hypogymnia physodes.
This gelatinous fungus - an Exidia - inflates with water and becomes virtually transparent, especially on days after a frost.
