Club Mosses and lichens : Cairngorm

A few photos from the morning's walk .. I do like arctic alpines, or is it the places they grow?

Fir Club Mosses....

Could they be the Arctic Fir Club Moss? The one on the right is very thin and yellow as per Arctic.

Interrupted Club Moss and you can just about see the old cones. 

Stag's-horn Club Moss....and below.

Showing the white tips.

Nice lichens ...Cladonia  sp.


My favourite image of the lichen cups.

And my favourite lichen Thamnolia vermicularis. Known as the White Worm Lichen this is definitely an upland species.

And a general habitat photos - with drizzle/cloud drops on the lens for effect!
