in Ekman & al., Graphis Scripta: 39, 2019. Basionym: Biatora modesta Zwackh ex Vain. - Acta Soc. F. Fl. Fenn., 53, 1: 171, 1922
Synonyms: Bacidia sulphurella Samp.; Bacidina sulphurella (Samp.) M. Hauck & V. Wirth; Woessia fusarioides D. Hawksw.; Woessia modesta (Zwackh ex Vain.) Van den Boom & P. Alvarad
Description: Thallus crustose, finely granular, entirely made of 20-40 µm wide, green goniocysts that may or may not form coralloid structures. Apothecia biatorine, 0.3-0.8(-1.2) mm across, with a white-grey to grey-brown disc, often with a slight violet hue, and a paler, raised, sometimes slightly white-pruinose proper margin which turns darker than the disc when wetted. Proper exciple without crystals, the colourless to pale brown in outer part, the external hyphae with ellipsoidal lumina, 3-7 x 1.5-5 μm; epithecium scarcely differentiated from the hymenium; hymenium colourless or pale brown in upper part; paraphyses 1-1.6 µm thick at mid-level, the apical cells clavate to slightly swollen, up to 4 µm wide; hypothecium and adjacent exciple dark brown to red-brown K+ dark brown (Arnoldiana-brown pigment). Asci 8-spored, clavate to cylindrical-clavate, the apical dome K/I+ dark blue with a pale, conical-pointed apical cushion (axial mass) never penetrating through the entire d-layer, the wall K/I-, but the thin outer gel K/I+ blue, Bacidia-type. Ascospores 1-3(-7)-septate, hyaline, acicular, straight to curved, (19-)24-48 x 0.9-2 µm. Pycnidia white, nearly always present and usually abundant, 0.15-0.3 mm in diam., sometimes lobate and seemingly multilocular. Conidia thread-like, 0-3-septate, straight or curved, but always with at least one extremity strongly hooked and slightly enlarged at one end (resembling a walking stick), 27-45(-55) x 1-1.7 μm. Photobiont chlorococcoid. Spot tests: thallus K-, C-, KC-, P-, UV-. Chemistry: thallus without lichen substances; Arnoldiana-brown pigment in apothecia.
