Pyrrhospora quernea (Dicks.) Körb.
Syst. Lich. Germ.: 209, 1855. Basionym: Lichen querneus Dicks. - Fasc. Crypt. Brit., 1: 9, 1875.
Synonyms: Biatora quernea (Dicks.) Fr.; Lecidea quernea (Dicks.) Ach.; Protoblastenia quernea (Dicks.) Clauzade
Description: Thallus crustose, episubstratic, rather thick, straw-coloured, dull sulphur yellow or yellowish brown, greenish yellow in shade-forms, sometimes with a reddish brown tint, continuous to cracked, often entirely dissolved into a sorediose/blastidiate crust, when well-developed forming large patches delimited by a black prothallus. Soredia/blastidia diffuse, pale yellow to yellowish brown, granular, c. 0.15 mm across, sometimes gathered in rounded, up to 0.5 mm wide aggregates. Apothecia biatorine, sessile, rusty red to dark red-brown, sometimes finally blackening, 0.3-1(-1.5) mm across, often irregular in outline, with an initially flat but soon strongly convex disc and an entire or undulate, soon excluded proper margin. Proper exciple poorly developed, of conglutinated, thick-walled, radially oriented hyphae; epithecium inspersed with reddish brown granules, K+ dissolving purple-red; hymenium colourless, c. 50 µm high, K/I+ blue; paraphyses coherent, simple or sparingly branched in upper part, submoniliform, hardly swollen at tips; hypothecium colourless. Asci 8-spored, broadly clavate, with a well developed, amyloid tholus containing an ocular chamber and a broad axial mass, Lecanora-type. Ascospores 1-celled, hyaline (turning brownish when old), short-ellipsoid to ellipsoid, 7-14 x 5-8 µm. Photobiont chlorococcoid. Spot tests: thallus K- or K+ very pale yellow, C+ and KC+ orange, P- or P+ weakly yellow, UV+ orange. Chemistry: thallus with isoarthothelin (major), thiophanic and thiophaninic acids (minor), plus different xanthones; apothecia with 7-chloroemodin.
Growth form: Crustose
Substrata: bark
Photobiont: green algae other than Trentepohlia
Reproductive strategy: mainly asexual, by soredia, or soredia-like structures (e.g. blastidia)
Most common in areas with a humid-warm climate (e.g. most of Tyrrenian Italy)
