Thelidium bubulcae (A. Massal.) Arnold
Verh. zool.-bot. Ges. Wien, 18: 706, 1868. Basionym: Lithocia bubulcae A. Massal. - Framm. Lichenogr.: 23, 1855.
Synonyms: Leiophloea bubulcae (A. Massal.) Trevis.; Sagedia bubulcae (A. Massal.) Garov.
Description: Thallus crustose, episubstratic, rimose-areolate, dirty white to very pale grey-brown, often delimited by a black prothallus. Perithecia black, 0.2-0.4 mm across, largely immersed in the thallus. Involucrellum limited to the upper third of the perithecium, slightly diverging from exciple in the lowermost part; exciple dark throughout; hamathecium of periphyses and periphysoids, interascal filaments absent; hymenial gel I+ red (I+ blue at very low concentrations of I), K/I+ blue. Asci 8-spored, ellipsoid to clavate, I-, fissitunicate, the wall thickened above, with an ocular chamber, dehiscent by extrusion of a delicate rostrum. Ascospores (0-)1-septate, hyaline, ellipsoid with rounded ends, (17-)20-30 x 9-12 μm. Photobiont chlorococcoid. Spot tests: K-, C-, KC-, P-, UV-. Chemistry: without lichen substances.
