Megalospora tuberculosa (Fée) Sipman
Bibl. Lichenol., 18: 156, 1983. Basionym: Lecidea tuberculosa Fée - Essai Crypt. Exot.: 107, 1825 (1824)
Synonyms: Bacidia pachycarpa (Delise ex Duby) Trevis.; Bacidia tuberculosa (Fée) Trevis.; Bombyliospora pachycarpa (Delise ex Duby) A. Massal.; Megalospora pachycarpa (Duby) H. Olivier
Description: Thallus crustose to subleprose, episubstratic, up to 0.2 mm thick, dull, yellowish white, pale grey-green or grey-white, sorediate, forming large patches, without a distinct prothallus or with athin dark prothallus. Soralia at first more or less discrete, but soon becoming confluent, forming a more or less continuous sorediate crust; soredia fine to coarse, usually aggregated into up to 80 µm wide consoredia, often with needle-like projecting crystals. Apothecia very rare, rounded, (0.5-)1-2 mm across, with a concave to flat, dark brown disc and a paler or concolorous, raised, persistent proper margin. Proper exciple of radiating hyphae, compact and brown in outer part, loose-arachnoid and more or less colourless within; epithecium orange-brown, densely inspersed with granules not dissolving in K; hymenium colourless, 130-180 μm high, inspersed with oil droplets; paraphyses sparingly branched and anastomosing, slightly swollen at tips; hypothecium yellowish brown to brown. Asci 1-spored, clavate-subcylindrical, with a thick amyloid tholus and a I+ blue gelatinous outer layer. Ascospores (3-)5-11-septate, hyaline, 70-160 x 25-35 µm, the wall c. 2 μm thick. Conidia short-bacilliform. Photobiont chlorococcoid (Symbiochloris), the cells 5-14 μm wide. Spot tests: thallus: K+ pale yellow, C-, KC+ yellow, P- or P+ faintly yellow, UV-. Chemistry: usnic acid, zeorin, unknown terpenoids.
Growth form: Crustose
Substrata: bark
Photobiont: green algae other than Trentepohlia
