New Species - Ramalina fastigiata - Dotted Ribbon Lichen

Now the fungi season is over the search for new species has drawn me to Lichens. One piece of Hawthorn branch seems to have several Lichen species and some Mosses too. The first one I feel confident about is Ramalina fastigiata which has distinctive flattened fruits which are a bit of a giveaway. I took the plunge identifying a few Moss species a while back and now I'll try one or two Lichens until my head hurts.
