Cladonia, growing on stony debris on roadside bank in forest
First time seeing this but one of my new favourites. Local corticolous lichen on pohutukawa.
Local amongst Camylopus under kānuka. Sorediate, K-.
Local on tree stumps. K+ yellow, PD+ yellow - orange. With C. glebosa.
Corticolous on raukawa in frost flat (or close too). Upper surface with pseudocyphellae, K+ Yellow - Red, powdery sorediate mostly marginal, with apothecia.
Corticolous in coastal forest.
Frosted squamules.
Brown when dry.
Spores without peristomes, halonate?, ellipsoid, 12.5 x 11.25 microns.
Large black auriculate apothecia. Spores nonhalonate, colourless, 13 x 6 microns. K-, hypothecium black, exciple dark.
Local saxicolous lichen on basalt boulders. Thallus to 3cm, effuse soredia, heavily fertile.
Corticolous on kauri, white underside, soredia mostly marginal. Upper surface scrobiculate - falveolate. Pseudocyhellae rare. Conidia 6.25 - 8.75 microns long.
On soil on the ground in the middle of a gravel track near the river.
Brownish organism on the stone.
colour change with chemical in bird dropping
Thought this was an unusual Stereocaulon but doesn't seem to key to any.
Saxicolous.
Fertile so am wondering about U. ciliata, as opposed to Usnea acromelana, which appeared to be growing together with this one https://inaturalist.nz/observations/100839924
Can't track satisfactory ID down. Is it a Cladia or Cladonia?
Saxicolous, alpine. Thallus terete, lightly branched. Main stem pale with bands of dark, smaller branches blackish to blackish brown. No visible perforations in thallus. Presumably fruticose but nothing reproductive apparent.
mostly black beech forest with some mountain beech, swampy sort of area with multiple dead logs near the bottom of a valley.
