Lichens and Mosses

Although I find these plants amazing, and great subjects for photography, my knowledge of them is quite limited. I have tried to identify them using the literature I have, and some help from more knowledgeable people, but I am sure, especially with my own identifications, that mistakes have occured. If anyone can correct any misidentifications, or identify any I could not, I would appreciate hearing from you.

I am starting a photo survey of saxicolous lichen on basalt rock outcrops of the Columbia River drainage. What regions serve as your photo work area?
