Species: | Spiny Moss Lichen (Cladia aggregata)This Photo: | 🔍Habitat🔎 | General Species Information: Found on Ellura (in the Murray Mallee, SA) and elsewhere The body/stalks of this are hollow. It's quite tiny with the end branches being only ~2mm. We think the black tips (only a couple of tenths of a mm) are the fruiting bodies. We find ours under the Eastern side of fallen Calitris trunks.
