On boulder on a playground (#311)
High res image available here:
Lecidella cf. stigmatea on a vertical face of a brick in an old wall consisting mainly of sandstone.
The thallus is mainly episubstratic and appears to be sub-squamulose. Additionally there are polarisation positive, slightly brown globular structures in the hymenium (guttulae) organized in the fashion of spores in asci for which I have no definitive explanation. The other features are compatible with L. stigmatea. If you have ideas on this I'd appreciate any comment.
