I now jack about lichens but from Google I assume this common lichen is Xanthoria parietina? This is accurate colour and x p is normally shown more orangey - maybe it changes from yellowy-green or is this another species??

Fraid I know nothing about them either- but have got lots of this on a pear tree- It's colour does vary depending on how damp it's been and how many of the fruiting bodies it has.Lovely shot BTW.
Just for added interest it was actually me trying to do a lichen shot that got me into the whole focus stacking thing :)
