On rotting wood; Gametophyte branching; dimidiate leaves; leaf margins toothed; double teeth present; leaf attachments to stem are decurrent
Growing in bryophyte mound. Erect, phyllids becoming shorter towards the falcate shoot apex. Fleshy calyptra over sporophyte
Potentially Racomitrium lanuginosum. Growing on road side. Lots of short tufted branches. Decurrent hairpoint with a 90 degree reflex can be seen in fourth image.
Long acuminate tip that is densely papillate. Rest of phyllid is also papillate.
loads of cool lichens on stems of ribbonwood or something like that
Nothofagus forest. Potentially A. tenera?
Note inflex hyaline margin. Rhombic basal cells
Potentially Racomitrium lanuginosum. Growing on road side. Lots of short tufted branches. Decurrent hairpoint with a 90 degree reflex can be seen in fourth image.
Long acuminate tip that is densely papillate. Rest of phyllid is also papillate.
Potentially R. curiosissimum. Found in disturbed gravel car park.
Phyllid is deeply plicate as seen in 4th and 5th image. The 6th and 7th image are potentially the decurrent alar cells present in this species. Image 8 and 9 show how the phyllid changes into the hyaline acumen in different styles. In 10 and 11 note the lack of papillae. 12 showcases the prominate sinuose cells
I do not think it is R. pruinosum as the hyaline tip is not papillate in any way.
Found in sub alpine peat bog with Spagnum and Dracophyllum common.
Terricolous. Hollow thallus, dying at base, richly branched and fertile
In coastal Kunzea forest growing in depression with bryophytes, Peltigera and other lichens, and exotic grasses. Roughly 10m above sea level.
Note flattened boat-shaped capsule with outer rim glossy, stomata immersed in seta neck, strongly papillose seta. Potential protonema on seta foot. The peristome consisting of brown teeth enclosing the white folded membrane. The operculum is conical.
Growing in beach forest. Note rudimentary branches between the asymmetric phyllids
Growing in middle of track in exposed area.
Note inflexed margin in 3rd and 5th picture. 34 rows of lamallae, 6 to 7 rows high. Base cells narrowly rhombic. Acuminate tip
Potentially Teleranea herzogii?
Found in beech forest, in gorge. Growing on Plagiochila annotina. Note the phyllids consisting of two spines
Note pruniose apothecia with thalline margins and septate spores
