Review (by Malcolm Storey)

A useful introduction to the macrolichens with keys to genera and species. Obviously the taxonomy is now somewhat out of date and a few species have been split, but it’s a simple way to get close before turning to a more detailed modern guide.

Previously circulated a cyclostyled A4 sheets.

Examine in the Hand ( with x8 or x10 hand lens is also useful)
Specimen PreparationChemical tests useful.
Identification difficultyComparatively straightforward
