Found growing in the Northern Tablelands near Mt Hyland homestead along a fire trail about 5m
into the forest at 962M altitude. This moss was growing on an old, very large wooden slab in a tall, closed wet forest with Ceratopetalum apetalum as the dominant tree species. Mainly Camptochaete excavata growing on the wooden slab with some lichens.
A vine-like moss with reddish brown seta. The branches are asymmetric. The leaves are concave and almost circular with a tiny apiculus,
UNE Beadle Herbarium, BAS7

Short soft even hairs covering pileus, giving a velvet texture. Often with slight colour changes from brown to dark brown tracing over different sections of growth. Hairs either extending over or slightly retracted from margin. If slightly retracted, hymenium margin is visible with distinct yellow/cream edge about 0.5mm thick. Hairless hymenium with rough and uneven texture. Distinct lighter brown colours that become lighter as layers extend towards margin which can still be seen from underside view due to protruding yellow/cream colour. Specimens between 1mm - 2cm wide.

Over 20 individuals, growing from clusters of up to 6 or singly. Four smaller colonies nearby. 20-80mm in height. Club shaped with a pale green stem becoming darker, twisted, and at times forked.
Growing in basalt soil surrounded by dense leaf litter and mossy rocks. Closed canopy wet forest, dominated by callicoma and ceratopetalum. Relatively open understory.
1010m altitude on a slope of 10-20°, facing south.
