Ochrolechia frigida (Sw.) Lynge
Rep. Sc. Res. Norw. Exp. Novaya Zemlya 1921, 43: 182, 1928. Basionym: Lichen frigidus Sw. - Meth. Muscor.: 36, 1781.
Synonyms: Ochrolechia elisabethae-kolae Verseghy; Ochrolechia gonatodes (Ach.) Räsänen; Ochrolechia groenlandica Verseghy; Ochrolechia lapuënsis (Vain.) Räsänen; Ochrolechia pterulina (Nyl.) G.E. Howard; Ochrolechia subtartarea (Nyl.) A. Massal.?; Ochrolechia tartarea var. thelephoroides (Th. Fr.) Arnold
Description: Thallus crustose, episubstratic, whitish to whitish grey or pale yellowish brown, extremely variable, very thin to very thick, with or without long spine-like outgrowths, continuous and membrane-like to areolate-verrucose, the areoles sometimes tending to become subfruticose, esorediate or sorediate; soredia farinose or granular, forming more or less discrete soralia on continuous thalli, or developing on the top of areoles, rarely at the base of spines, or areoles completely dissolving into soredia, and forming a sorediate crust. Apothecia frequent, lecanorine, up to 4 mm across, with a concave to flat, usually epruinose, often radially fissured, pale brown to reddish brown disc, a usually smooth or sorediate thalline margin and often a prominent excipular ring. Thalline exciple corticate, the cortex c. 50-75 μm wide; epithecium brownish, C+ red; hymenium colourless, c. 170-250(-300) μm high; paraphyses thin, slender, densely branched and anastomosing; hypothecium yellowish. Asci (4-)6-8(-12)-spored, with thick, amyloid walls, without recognizable apical structures, Pertusaria-like. Ascospores 1-celled, hyaline, variable in size and shape, from ellipsoid to pyriform, rarely subglobose, 20-50(-67) x (6-)12-30(-42) μm. Photobiont chlorococcoid. Spot tests: cortex and apothecial disc K-, C+ red, KC+ red, P-; medulla C-, KC-. Chemistry: gyrophoric acid (major) and lecanoric acid (trace to minor), sometimes with fatty acids of the murolic acid complex, or with traces of additional unidentified substances.
