Lecidea silacea (Hoffm.) Ach.
Meth. Lich.: 48, 1803. Basionym: Patellaria silacea Hoffm. - Descr. Adumb. Plant. Lich., 1, 4: 89, 1790.
Synonyms: Lecidea subsilacea Nyl.; Lecidella silacea (Hoffm.) Stein; Psora tabacina Ramond ex DC. non auct.
Description: Thallus crustose, episubstratic, rather thick, areolate-verrucose, ochre to rust-red, without a distinct prothallus, the areoles convex to bullate, 0.3-1(-1.5) mm wide, matt. Medulla white, I+ blue. Apothecia lecideine, black, 0.5-1.5(-2) mm across, arising between the areoles, sessile and constricted at base, with a flat to convex disc and a usually persistent, sometimes finally excluded, raised, often sinuous proper margin. Proper exciple with a thick, brown-black to green-black cortex reacting N+ purple, more or less colourless within; epithecium bright blue-green or green-black, N+ purple; hymenium colourless of pale green in upper part, 40-70 µm high; paraphyses sparingly branched and anastomosing, 1.5-2 µm thick at mid-level, the apical cell to 5 µm wide; subhymenium pale blue-green, well-differentiated from the pale to dark brown, sometimes substipitate hypothecium. Ąsci 8-spored, clavate, Lecidea-type. Ascospores 1-celled, hyaline, ellipsoid to broadly ellipsoid, (7-)8-15(-17) x 4.5-6(-7) µm, 1.6-2 times as long as wide. Pycnidia dark. Conidia bacilliform 8-12 x c. 1 µm. Photobiont chlorococcoid. Spot tests: thallus K-, C-, KC-, P-, UV-. Chemistry: without lichen substances, or sometimes with porphyrilic acid, rarely with low amounts of stictic or norstictic acids.
