| Pseudopodetia 1–8 cm tall, hollow, fragile when dry, green through shades of cream, straw, brown to almost black. Sterile pseudopodetia horny, rigid when dry, extremely variable in size, from 0.5–8 mm wide, dichotomously or irregularly branched, flexuose, prostrate or ascending, sometimes smaller branches terminating in cilia-like spines. Fertile pseudopodetia much thicker and taller than sterile pseudopodetia, usually more perforate and more branched towards apex. Apothecia solitary or tiered, to 0.3 mm wide; disc slightly concave to flat, matt, brownish black to black. Ascospores 12–15 × 4–5 µm. Pycnidia ellipsoidal, 320 × 120 µm. Conidia 5 × 1 µm. CHEMISTRY: thallus K-, C-, KC-, P-. Barbatic, 4-O- demethylbarbatic, fumarprotocetraric, ursolic acids, unknown triterpenes and 13 unidentified products. | ||
| Occurs in all States and Territories except N.T.; also Lord Howe Is., Norfolk Is., Macquarie Is., N.Z., P.N.G., N.Caled., Hawaii, Asia, South America and South Africa. Tolerant of a wide range of habitats; often growing on rotten wood, and also often epiphytic. | ||
