Notes:
Apothecium: 3-5mm in diameter by 2-3mm in height, pale orangish pink in colour.
Stipe: 8-10mm long by 1-2mm in diameter, slightly flattened with a sparse pruinose pinkish white bloom, pale pink flesh.
Habitat: On a vertical red clay bank amongst mosses and other lichens at about 300 meters above sea level in Native New Zealand Forest.
It’s interesting that the lichen takes it’s name from the fungus that associates with a specific algae!

A lichen with Cudonia-like structures instead of apothecia?
