The specimen was gathered by the author from the bark of branches, both on trees and fallen, in the lowland rainforest zone characterised by closed primary forest, in April 2003.

[2] Lücking suggests that the species might not be a genuine member of Myriotrema based on the stictic acid chemistry, "but no convincing alternative placement is available".

[3] Myriotrema frondosolucens lichen has a thallus that varies in colour from light grey-olive to pale yellow-white.

Its surface texture ranges from smooth to uneven and it produces specialised structures known as schizidia, which are small, detached pieces of the thallus that help in the reproduction and dispersal of the lichen.

The chemical composition of Myriotrema frondosolucens includes stictic acid and lichexanthone, substances that contribute to its secondary chemistry.
