Some recent shots of lichens all on a fallen branch in the garden. Taken around 3:1 FF and focus stacked using zerene. Always think these look very alien.

Not sure what the pink blobs are

Nice work. The are deceptively three-dimensional.

A stab at some names:

I think the first one is Arthonia radiata, the second one Physcia ascendens.

The pink blobs, if much paler anyway, could be Icmadophilia ericetorum. Red indicates Cladonia floerkeana. In both cases there should be a stalk.

The last one (jam tart type) may be Lecanora grisea

The various yellow ones, and the yellowish-green one, are probably Xanthoria parietina.

Treat all of the above as guidance for further checking.
