Summary edit

Description
English: In the hedgerow on Waltham Lane This lichen, Xanthoria polycarpa, was covering the branches of an elder growing in the hawthorn hedge. This species is found where the nutrient levels are high, often on elder and where birds perch. It is becoming more common because of the amount of extra nitrogen that is being released into the atmosphere from vehicles, fossil fuels and livestock. The orange discs in the photo are called apothecia and they release the reproductive structures, asci.
