Thyrea confusa Henssen
in Henssen & Jørgensen, Lichenologist, 22: 146, 1990.
Synonyms: Omphalaria pulvinata auct. non (Schaer.) Nyl.; Thyrea pulvinata auct. non (Schaer.) A. Massal.
Description: Thallus foliose to subfruticose, polyphyllous, gelatinous when wet, forming small cushions or up to 2 cm wide rosettes. Squamules 2-5 mm wide, to 1 cm long, erect or ascending, flat or weakly channelled on lower surface, irregularly branched, broadly rounded at apex, black but most often bluish-grey pruinose, often with small, globose, granular isidia, otherwise smooth; lower surface plicate, often paler than upper surface. Thallus ecorticate, 250-500 µm thick; medulla 200-300 µm thick, of irregularly arranged, lax hyphae, in the upper and lower parts consisting of mainly anticlinally oriented hyphae enclosing the photobiont cells. Apothecia rare, immersed or semi-immersed, hemiangiocarpic, forming pycnoascocarps from ascogonia beneath pycnidia, small, the disc punctiform, slightly depressed, brownish, with a persisting thalline margin. Proper exciple colourless, up to 10 µm wide; epithecium poorly differentiated; hymenium colourless, up to 150 µm high, K/I+ blue; paraphyses distinctly septate, sparingly branched and anastomosing, the apical cells slightly thickened, up to 3 µm wide; hypothecium colourless. Asci 8-spored, prototunicate, cylindrical-clavate, thin-walled, with an external, I+ blue cap. Ascospores 1-celled, hyaline, globose to broadly ellipsoid, thin-walled, (7.5-)8-12(-15) x 5-7.5(-10) µm. Pycnidia immersed, globose, unilocular, 90-120 µm across. Conidia cylindrical, 2-3 x 1-1.5 µm. Photobiont cyanobacterial, chroococcoid, with a few cells measuring (4-)6-8(-10) µm, surrounded by a brownish gelatinous sheath. Spot test: all negative. Chemistry: without lichen substances.
