Cladonia on rotten log
This seems to be Cladonia portentosa but if you have a better suggestion please comment. It's growing on a huge rotten trunk lying in a clearing on the Reading University site, which has been parkland for at least 200 years. The books say bushy Cladonias grow on the ground but it seems to be happy: a few broken bits have attached themselves to form daughter colonies.
