Lecanora stenotropa
A crustose, saxicolous lichen (i.e. usually growing on rocks), brown-green to green-grey in colour.
Almost the same as Lecanora polytropa, with the same habitat preferences, but the thallus is darker and granular and the spores are narrower.
We recommend that your record is verified by an expert before submission to NatureSpot
