Porina pseudohibernica Tretiach
Lichenologist, 46: 618, 2014.
Synonyms: Zamenhofia pseudohibernica (Tretiach) Cl. Roux & Tretiach
Description: Thallus crustose, episubstratic, pale orange-brown with an olive-green tinge, fading to ochre or pale brown in the herbarium, isidiate. Isidia often crowded, branched and coralloid, fragile, to 0.7 mm tall, the branches 27-37(-45) μm thick, ecorticate or with a thin, inconspicuous cortex. Perithecia occasional, subglobose, black, matt, semi-immersed but not covered by a thalline layer, solitary, 0.34-0.43 mm across, the ostiole white in fertile perithecia due to a distinct, persistent crown of periphyses protruding slightly from the pore. Involucrellum contiguous with the exciple, extending to exciple-base level, dull brown to black, in section dull reddish brown to blackish, K+ greenish to blackish blue, N+ golden to reddish brown; exciple thin, colourless throughout; paraphyses simple, filiform, numerous, persistent, c. 1 μm thick; hymenium inspersed with oil droplets. Asci 8-spored, thin-walled, with a more or less truncate apex and without an apical chitinoid ring, I-, the cytoplasm I+ yellowish red. Ascospores 7-8(-9)-septate, hyaline, thin-walled, fusiform or caudate-fusiform, with acute ends, 34-53 x 7-10 μm; immature spores with a well-developed gelatinous perispore. Photobiont trentepohlioid. Spot tests: thallus K-, C-, KC-, P-, UV-. Chemistry: thallus without lichen substances.
