British Pyrenocarpous Lichens
Alan Orange (2008)
This is an informal identification guide to lichens with perithecia (fruiting bodies that open with a pore). It was originally prepared for the British Lichen Society Workshop ‘Pyrenocarps on Rock’, held at the Blencathra Field Study Centre, Keswick, Cumbria, on 26 August to 2 September 2006.
