I personally observed that these colorful lichens are found the most in landscaping ,where there is maximum use of weed killers and insecticides .

Argy,you might find the above link of interest.
Argy, usually,green lichen is an indicator of good air quality.That is not the case with orange lichen which is more pollutant tolerant.
Please feel free to correct me!
Interesting observation then.
What i mean is that the over use of chemicals is the cause for these colored lichen. These usually indicate a higher level of toxic chemicals and heavy metals.I hope that was a little better in terms of explanation.
Wow! That's a great collection. Could be years worth of IDing there :) Did you mean maximum or minimum above?
Now I have to work on identifying these! Very delighted to find so many types of lichen!
