Xanthoria parietina
A pretty patch of foliose Lichen looking like a minute cluster of water cress. A brilliant olive green with some parts of the thalli showing a shade of yellow.
Spotted growing on a Golden Ash tree amidst crusty grey lichen. X.parietina is said to prefer bark or wood.
This lichen was predominantly green - ? a higher percentage of the algal component (photobiont). I need to research further to confirm species.
