Looks like an abundance of a species of Usnea and something in the Parmeliaceae (in roughly equal amounts - the greenish lichens) and perhaps a species of Teloschistes (orange).

Should I separate the areas with certain lichens in the photo or just leave as is? I don't which is which. I am happy if anyone else wants to divide up the picture.
