It's the small proportion of idiots that form the problem... I guess it's like anything really! ;-) <br /><br />Rob- Thanks for having a go at the mosses, mate. I took the other page down (went a bit overkill with the images!) but that's a great help. I had a look at the Peltigera genus again, and it seems as though they are harder to tell apart that I first thought! Maybe best to put it down as 'Peltigera sp.' ;-)<br /><br />All's well with me thanks- was nice to catch up with the Bookham lot of Saturday. <br /><br />Catch you around! <br />Billy Dykeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00840933193238325733noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1281052059221698775.post-72297722780405947712014-03-09T21:06:43.748+00:002014-03-09T21:06:43.748+00:00I can't see the mosses page Bill, but of the s...I can't see the mosses page Bill, but of the stuff on this post:<br /><br />Moss #1 is probably a <i>Ulota</i> sp<br />Moss #3 I think is <i>Homalothecium sericeum</i><br />Moss #5 May be <i>Eurhynchium striatum</i><br />Moss #6 is almost certainly <i>Orthotrichum affine</i><br />Moss #9 (with Peltigera): the skinny stuff is <i>Kindbergia praelonga</i>, not sure about the other, looks like <i>Hypnum</i> maybe.<br /><br />Are <i>Peltigera</i> spp. fairly easy to ID?<br /><br />Sorry to hear about your bike, I hope you're keeping well otherwise.

But thankfully it isn't all of them :)Ashley Beolenshttp://www.viewsfromanurbanlake.co.uknoreply@blogger.com
