About
Gyalectidium novoguineense is a species of lichen-forming fungus in the family Gomphillaceae. It is a leaf-dwelling lichen known from tropical and subtropical regions including Papua New Guinea, Australia, New Caledonia, Mexico, and Thailand, occurring in both natural rainforests and cultivated settings such as botanical gardens. The species is distinguished by its minute silvery to whitish-grey patches composed of small blister-like segments, with very narrowly triangular, almost bristle-like reproductive structures arranged horizontally at the thallus edges.
