Pale green lichen, very thin but large surface area, smooth texture and quite slimey to the touch. Most likely a crust lichen species. Growing on basalt boulders in moist rainforest.
This lichen is protected within the Gondwana Rainforests of Australia World Heritage Area, this particular location being Springbrook National Park, a habitat of cool temperate rainforest. It is at high altitude (1550m), dense forest canopy and very moist with high rainfall.
Found on the walking track near the Antarctic Beech in Springbrook National Park. http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/266...
