Spotting

Description:

Moss or lichen? I think it's a lichen species. Found in a tropical rainforest environment. Texture felt dry.

Habitat:

This spotting was at Ravensbourne National Park, at an elevation above 500 mtrs. Dense foliage and canopy, mostly native trees that I could see. Lots of leaf litter and quite damp due to recent rains or thick mist. Soft, filtered light. This spotting was on decaying tree branches, tree trunks, and lianas.
