Strangospora moriformis (Ach.) Stein
in Cohn, Krypt.-Fl. von Schlesien, Flecht.: 176, 1879. Basionym: Arthonia moriformis Ach. - Syn. Meth. Lich.: 5, 1814.
Synonyms: Biatorella improvisa (Nyl.) Almq.; Biatorella moriformis (Ach.) Th. Fr.; Biatorella nitens Th. Fr.
Description: Thallus crustose, endosubstratic or irregularly granular, pale grey, usually poorly evident. Apothecia biatorine, 0.25-0.5 mm across, with a black to (rarely) black-brown, strongly convex disc, and a thin to almost absent proper margin. Proper exciple poorly developed, K-; epithecium olive-green, emerald-green or violet, K+ pale greenish grey, usually N+ purple; hymenium blue-green, olive-grey or colourless, 50-80(-110) µm high; paraphyses strongly coherent, branched and anastomosing, 0.5-1 µm thick at mid-level, the apical cells 2-2.5 µm wide; hypothecium grey, 50-70 µm high. Asci 100-200(-300)-spored, broadly clavate, thickened in upper part, without a gelatinous outer layer, the wall and well-developed apical dome strongly K/I+ blue. Ascospores 1-celled, hyaline globose, (1.3-)2-3(-3.5) µm wide. Pycnidia rare, globose, colourless to brown, the wall emerald green in upper half, brown to hyaline in lower part. Conidia simple, hyaline, oblong, 2.5-3.5(-4) x 1-1.7 µm. Photobiont chlorococcoid, with ellipsoid cells. Spot tests: K-, C-, KC-, P-, UV-. Chemistry: without lichen substances.
