On rocks in a wall of gabion cages forming a playground. Rain exposed topside of calcareous rock, partially shaded by high vegetation.
This is part of my recent (June 2025) dive into "small yellow/orange nightmares", mostly microlichens with yellow and orange apothecia. Please take my ID suggestion with caution.
ITALIC lists two subspecies - I suspect this is R. elegans subsp. elegans because of the narrow lobe tips. I am not sure if it has the "pale maculae visible at high magnification". There are some paler areas of the thallus visible under the dissceting microscope, however I was not able to find good reference mages to compare them against.
