Allantoparmelia alpicola (Th. Fr.) Essl.
Mycotaxon, 7: 46, 1978. Basionym: Parmelia alpicola Th. Fr. - N. Acta Reg. Soc. Sci. Upsal., ser. 3, 3: 57, 1861.
Synonyms: Hypogymnia alpicola (Th. Fr.) Hav.; Parmelia encausta var. alpicola (Th. Fr.) Nyl.; Parmelia jinretienii Gyeln.; Parmelia nigrita (Flot.) Hillmann
Description: Thallus foliose, heteromerous, dorsiventral, closely adnate, forming regular or irregular up to to 6(-8) cm wide rosettes, several thalli often merging to cover larger surfaces. Lobes 0.2-0.8(-1) mm wide, flattened to convex, often torulose-nodulose, with a crenulate margin. Upper surface blackish brown, greyish black or brown, somewhat paler in shade-forms, dull or shiny towards margins; lower surface black, browned at lobe tips, erhizinate, attached by irregular cortical outgrowths (and hence sometimes appearing almost crustose). Upper cortex prosoplectenchymatous, with a non-pored epicortex, the cell walls containing isolichenan; medulla white, compact; lower cortex similar to the upper one. Apothecia common, lecanorine, 3-4(-5) mm across, with a dark brown to black disc and a usually smooth thalline margin. Epithecium brown; hymenium and hypothecium colourless. 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-celled, hyaline, broadly ellipsoid to subglobose, 7-10 x 5-7 μm. Pycnidia common, immersed, black. Conidia bifusiform or thickened at one end, 4.5-6 x c. 1 μm. Photobiont chlorococcoid. Spot tests: upper cortex K-, C-, KC-, P-; medulla K+ pale yellow, C+ red, KC+ red, P+ yellow, UV-. Chemistry: medulla with alectorialic and barbatolic acids.
