Rinodina roboris (Nyl.) Arnold
Flora, 64: 197, 1881. Basionym: Lecanora sophodes var. roboris Dufour ex Nyl. in Crouan & Crouan - Florule Finistère: 96, 1867.
Synonyms: Lecanora roboris (Nyl.) Nyl.; Rinodina metabolica var. roboris (Nyl.) Bagl. & Carestia
Description: Thallus crustose, episubstratic, usually thick, continuous or irregularly cracked, uneven-granular, grey-white, pale grey to glaucous green-grey, rarely delimited by a dark prothallus. Apothecia lecanorine, sessile, (0.5-)0.8-1.6 mm across, with a dark brown to black, concave to slightly convex, rough disc, and a thick, persistent, often crenulate thalline margin. Thalline exciple 60-70 µm wide laterally, expanding to 80-100 µm in lower part, corticate; proper exciple colourless, c. 5 µm wide laterally, expanding to 20-25 µm in upper part; epithecium dark brown, K-; hymenium colourless, 70-120 µm high, I+ blue; paraphyses coherent, 1.5-2.5 µm thick at mid-level, the apical cells 3-5.5 µm wide; hypothecium colourless or pale yellowish brown, 80-150(-175) µm high, I-. Asci 8-spored, clavate, the K/I+ blue tholus penetrated by a faintly amyloid apical cushion with parallel or diverging flanks, the wall K/I-, surrounded by a K/I+ blue outer layer, Lecanora-type. Ascospores 1-septate, brown, ellipsoid, (14-)18-22(-24) x (7-)9-11(-13) µm, Pachysporaria-type, the lumina at first polygonal then round, the wall thick, smooth or minutely warted, with a well-developed torus, with ontogeny of type A (apical wall thickening after septum formation). Pycnidia immersed, black. Conidia bacilliform, 4-5.5 µm long. Photobiont chlorococcoid. Spot tests: K+ yellow, C-, KC-, P+ faintly yellow. Chemistry: atranorin.
