Unterblätter mehr als doppelt so breit wie Stämmchen.
On foredunes. 'Cross walls' present on exostome, base of leaf red.

Very slender shoots, with red stems and slightly curved tips.
Leaves curved to one side, 1.5mm long, not plicate below.

Not quite sure of this ID…
Stoma quite broad ~47um X 59um
On small old fiddlewood tree trunk
Kindly, assist with ID. Thanks in advance!
Picture taken at Limpopo-Lipadi Reserve, Tuli Block, Botswana.
Found a capsule but not the perianth…
Looking back at the fresh specimen - I think I see it in the second photo.
If this is F. tristis — Interestingly, found on a shaded rock [normally: Frullanoides tristis almost exclusively epiphytic grows on bark, trunks, stems and twigs of living trees and shrubs, occasionally epiphyllous, rarely on logs or shaded rocks (van Slageren 1985, Singh et al. 2005.)]
North facing side of church in shade
On gritstone rock with Hypnum cupressiforme and Dicranum scoparium in upland birch woodland. I couldn't find any 'cilia' on the leaf bases. Also not sure if photo 6 shows divided underleaves.
On European aspen. Picture 4 shows Bryocentria metzgeriae, as suspected and later identified by @georgeg
Morrone Birkwood Site of Special Scientific Interest
On thin soil over limestone rocks with Encalypta vulgaris and Saxifraga tridactylites. Leaves up to 2.5mm long. Capsules asymmetrical. Spores coarsely papillose. The semicircular 'leaf' seemed to be attached to the actual leaf - I'm not sure what it is though.
Scattered patches on gritstone rock with Hypnum jutlandicum in oak and birch woodland. Leaves up to 7mm long.
On gritstone rock under bilberries near Diplophyllum albicans. No sign of gemmae. I only found one basal leaf cilia.
On bare chalky soil in old 'clunch pit'. Margins plane (unlike T. muralis var aestiva). Bright green. Confirmed as new V.C record by BBS
On top of limestone rock in grassland with other bryophytes. Leaves up to 2.5mm long. Nerve excurrent.
On limestone rock in grassland with other bryophytes.
Possibly. On oak. Could be a more widespread infection going on here that is killing the oak and the moss - see the blackening bark and observation http://www.inaturalist.org/observations/143658378 Took small piece of bark that crumbled off very easily - photo 6 and 7 I think these are embedded microplastics? Made separate observations for the hyphomycetes and the other lichen here: http://www.inaturalist.org/observations/146356152 Unfortunately the app still doesn't allow me to delete these photos now that I have made separate observations for each.
Guessing based on large cream-white, uniformly-thick obconical fruiting body on orthotrichaceae in winter. Also on Nephroma I think.
@georgeg I found some of the promising Frullania today and will give it a whirld tonight. On Physcocarpus capitatus in river slough area
Scattered strands among Sphagnum fallax in wettest part of boggy area. Leaves just over 1mm long with some rhizoids at back of leaf tips. Enlarged basal cells don't reach the nerve.
