These lichen images are more close-ups than macro. All were lit by flash, with the camera in manual mode and hand-held.
I am no lichen expert but I am fairly sure I have identified them correctly.
The yellow one (can be green) is Xanthoria parietina..
The grey one with the “jam tart” fruiting bodies, and no stiff whiskers, is Physcia aipolia.
The grey one without the “jam tart” fruiting bodies, and with stiff whiskers, is Physcia adscendens.
All can be found at all times of the year but they were photographed in late May.

Thanks, Brian.
Yes, they have colour, form and, above all, all-year-round availability. Their best feature is that they keep still!
