Field Notes

Description:

A combination of golden cup and foliose grey-green lichens on pine branch over wombat entrance.

Habitat:

Very open grassy fields with occasional stands of gums and wattles.

Notes:

Orange lichen = Teloschistes chrysophthalmus <br>
Grey lichen = Parmelia sulcata? <br>
So often seen together - is there some bio-link? <br>
Graeme John Ambrose has very similar as Ramalina inflata and Teloschistes chrysophthalmus. Yet to check... <br>
