Acarospora glaucocarpa (Ach.) Arnold
Flora, 41, 20: 311, 1858.. Basionym: Parmelia glaucocarpa Ach. - Meth. Lich.: 182, 1803.
Synonyms: Acarospora castanea (DC.) Körb.; Acarospora cervina f. sarcogynoides (Vain.) Clauzade & Cl. Roux; Acarospora cervina var. glaucocarpa (Ach.) Körb.; Acarospora theobromina Hue p.p.; Urceolaria castanea DC.
Description: Thallus crustose, episubstratic, areolate-subsquamulose, often forming extensive patches. Areoles contiguous or more or less overlapping, 0.5-4 mm wide, rather thick, rounded or angular to slightly lobed, flat to convex, smooth to slightly roughened, pale to medium brown, matt, epruinose or slightly pruinose, usually white by erosion at margins, the underside whitish, sometimes reduced to a margin-like rim around individual apothecia. Cortex 35-70(-90) μm thick; algal layer 90-200 μm thick, irregular, discontinuous and interrupted by hyphal bundles, often penetrating the medulla in tooth-like columns; medulla greyish, filled by masses of crystals. Apothecia 1-4.5 mm across, immersed, 1(-3) per areole, with a dark brown to reddish brown (when wet), epruinose or heavily pruinose, smooth disc at first reducing the areole to a thalline margin and then excluding it, leaving a margin consisting of the proper exciple only (thus appearing lecideine). Proper exciple expanding around the disc, 35-150 μm thick, brown, IKI-; epithecium brown; hymenium colourless, 60-80(-120) μm high, the hymenial gel euamyloid, IKI+ persistently dark blue; paraphyses stout, 2-3 μm thick at mid-level, barely expanded at apex, with a brown cap; hypothecium colourless, 30-50 μm high. Asci 100-200-spored, clavate, the apical dome K/I-. Ascospores 1-celled, hyaline, narrowly ellipsoid to cylindrical, 3-5(-6) x 1-1.5(-2) μm. Photobiont chlorococcoid. Spot tests: cortex and medulla K-, C, KC-, P-, UV-. Chemistry: without lichen substances.
