Foraging: Never eat a wild mushroom on a photo or an app’s word. Many deadly species look like edible ones.
About
Phaeographis tuberculifera is a species of saxicolous (rock-dwelling) crustose lichen in the family Graphidaceae, first described in 2001. This lichen features a pale greenish-brown thallus with a characteristically bumpy or warty surface, and is exclusively found growing on rock surfaces in northern Queensland, Australia. It is distinguished from related species by its warty appearance, its elongated black reproductive structures that are partially hidden within the lichen's main body, and its small, four-chambered spores. P. tuberculifera appears to be endemic to Australia, with its known distribution limited to its original collection site.
