Phaeophyscia hispidula (Ach.) Essl.

Mycotaxon, 7: 305, 1978. Basionym: Parmelia hispidula Ach. - Lichenogr. Univ.: 468, 1810.
Synonyms: Physcia hispidula (Ach.) Frey; Physcia setosa (Ach.) Nyl.
Distribution: N - TAA (Nascimbene & al. 2007b, Zarabska & al. 2009), Lomb (Zocchi & al. 1997), Piem (Piervittori 2003, Watson 2014), VA (Isocrono & Ongaro 2021, Ongaro & al. 2022).
Description: Thallus foliose, heteromerous, dorsiventral, forming orbicular to irregular, up to 10(-12) cm wide rosettes. Lobes discrete or partly imbricate, (1-)2-4(-6) mm wide, concave, usually slightly ascending at apex, surrounded by numerous dark, projecting rhizines. Upper surface grey to grey-brown, usually dull, epruinose, with granular to isidioid, mostly marginal or submarginal soredia. Lower surface black, sometimes dark brown at lobe ends, with dark, mostly simple rhizines projecting beyond the margins. Upper and lower cortex paraplectenchymatous; medulla white. Apothecia very rare, lecanorine, up to 2 mm across, sessile, with a dark disc and an entire to irregularly crenate thalline margin that often bears a dense corona of rhizines. Epithecium brown; hymenium and hypothecium colourless; paraphyses slender, often forked in upper part, the apical cells clavate, with a thin dark cap. Asci 8-spored, clavate, the K/I+ blue tholus penetrated by a faintly amyloid apical cushion with parallel or diverging flanks, the wall K/I-, surrounded by a K/I+ blue outer layer, Lecanora-type. Ascospores 1-septate, brown, ellipsoid, 18-25(-28) x 7-12(-14) µm, Physcia-type. Spot tests: cortex and medulla K-, C-, KC-, P-, UV-. Chemistry: without lichen substances.
Note: a mainly circumboreal-montane species, mostly found on terricolous or saxicolous bryophytes in upland areas; rare and restricted to the Alps in Italy.
Growth form: Foliose, narrow lobed
Substrata: rocks, bark, soil, terricolous mosses, and plant debris
Photobiont: green algae other than Trentepohlia
Reproductive strategy: mainly asexual, by soredia, or soredia-like structures (e.g. blastidia)
