Box Brownie Messages 15,757 Edit My Images No 13 Jul 2018 #2 Nickname is "Old mans beard" I have seen it in various places in the UK as well as in south Africa. I was told that it is a sign of very good clean air as it will only grow in such pristine (?) environments. HTH PS I understood it is in the Lichen group. Last edited: 13 Jul 2018

OP Brian G Messages 2,247 Name Brian Edit My Images Yes 14 Jul 2018 #5 Thanks very much chaps. I knew there would be some helpful and knowledgable people on the forum. The photo was taken in a small wood on Dartmoor (Wistmans Wood.)
