Lecanora xylophila on Driftwood

Was out experimenting with a long lens. When the ducks I'd intended to photograph left, I gave some close ups of lichen a try. Was doing it handheld as expected to be following ducks; so, my close-ups shot in burst mode varied a bit in their focus plane. Did a focus stack using 3 of them in Photoshop for this photo of fruiting lichen on driftwood.

Lecanora sp. on balsam fir

Lecanora sp. on the bark of a balsam fir near the edge of a conifer swamp. The lichen (Arthonia?) at the bottom appears to be diseased. Another Lecanora, possibly L. symmicta, with round-topped yellow apothecia is between the two. Thin black lines mark the edges of each lichen.

Lecanora sp. and Buellia (?) sp. on balsam fir

Lecanora sp. (top) and Buellia (?) sp. on the bark of a balsam fir near the edge of a conifer swamp. The lichen on the bottom may not be Buellia, and the black apothecia might be those of an infectious fungus that parasitizes lichens.
