Thelidium olivaceum auct.
. Basionym: Verrucaria olivacea Fr. - Lich. Eur. Reform.: 438, 1831, nom. illegit.
Synonyms: Arthopyrenia pseudolivacea (Nyl.) H. Olivier; Involucrothele pseudolivacea (Nyl.) Servít; Verrucaria olivacea Fr. nom. illegit.; Verrucaria pseudolivacea Nyl.
Description: Thallus crustose, thinly episubstratic, often fleck-like, greenish brown or medium brown, continuous or more or less rimose. Thallus not paraplectenchymatous; medulla often forming a black basal layer. Perithecia black, 0.1-0.2 mm across, 1/4-1/2-immersed, projecting with the upper part, often covered at base by a thalline layer. Involucrellum extending to the base of exciple, appressed or slightly diverging at base; exciple dark in upper part, pale below; 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, narrowly ellipsoid to clavate, I-, fissitunicate, the wall thickened above, ocular chamber usually present; dehiscence by extrusion of a delicate endotunica as a long rostrum. Ascospores 1(-3)-septate, hyaline, ellipsoid, 14-25(-34) x 6-12(-14) µm. Photobiont chlorococcoid. Spot tests: K-, C-, KC-, P-, UV-. Chemistry: without lichen substances.
