Parchment fungi sp.

Description:

I'm assuming this is lichen, but I know this is what's called a 'parchment' fungi. Some large specimens all found on the same decaying branch. Largest approx. 15-20 cms across. Some white coloured and looked like peeling paint, whilst another looked like a rotting cabbage leaf, and was green. Very dry to the touch and structure rigid.

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 branch.
