Lichen

A first for me; a handsome lichen growing at the base (I can't find a more botanical name for the place where the frond converges into the head of the petiole) of a dead or dying frond from an inner city palm tree. Do they have lichens like this in the sort of places where palm trees like this are supposed to grow, or are lichens something for the tundra rather than the jungle?
