this is quite close to the "Coastal Lichen" we have growing here ....... as per the link below, I agree with Arlanda. http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/8104088
Maybe Xanthoria elegans although there are other possible Xanthoria sp. Please, consider to add it to Lichens mission http://www.projectnoah.org/missions/8624860
Matthew, please consider adding this to the Symbiotic Relationships mission - http://www.projectnoah.org/missions/7987627
