Cladonia fimbriata is very common #lichen in Britain, but how splendid to see in such profusion! Distinguished from other similar pixie-cups by 'golf-tee' shape, and by surface of uniformly farinose i.e. 'powdery' soredia. On moss on calcareous drystone wall, Normanby-le-Wold, Lincolnshire, England.

Greens because I’ve been in a UCP shop (in Hyde if you’re interested), albeit not recently.
Purples got sorted when the connection was obvious and, unusually, yellows by default.

I had to think for a minute for the greens but I checked the purples would group before locking in, so I claim those, too.
