I can't even begin to figure out how many species are present in these shots, much less identify them (help welcome, to the extent any of them can be ID'ed from photos). Best viewed large. So far I have the following -- many thanks to wanderflechten:
Large pale gray crust looks like Lecanora rupicola. Slightly darker gray crust in upper-right-center could be an Aspicilia. Darker gray crust with black apothecia looks like a Rhizocarpon, such as R. disporum.

Looks like Lasallia papulosa.

Looks like a Xanthoparmelia, possibly X. cumberlandia. (Photo of this lichen in LNA looks odd; better in sharnoffphotos.) Can't tell gray crust at lower right. Grainy white stuff is probably a lichen as well.

Yellow crust looks like Pleopsidium flavum. (Dark stuff on its thallus looks like a parasitic fungus.) Orangish crust with lobate margin looks like Candelina submexicana. White crust looks like Acarospora strigata. Can't tell medium gray and dark gray lichens. Possibly Aspicilia and Lecidea.

Gorgeous native wildflower, blooming roadside along a stretch of highway northwest of Chiricahua. Saw occasional stands of it in this area.
