Lichens of Lough Corrib

Area 2: 53.40873n, 9.45336w

In Area 2 we were taking photos of a large cliff rock, facing north and a tree which was next to the rock.. The rock was covered in lichens but mainly by a white lichen, surrounded by other. We found two lichen in Crustose form. Cudbear Lichen next to an un-identified lichen, and one lichen in Foliose form.

Cudbear Lichen surrounding a small gray lichen which is un-known.
