Cladonia merochlorophaea Asahina
J. Jap. Bot., 16: 713, 1940.
Synonyms:
Description: Primary thallus squamulose, persistent, the squamules thin, small, ascending, 1-2 mm long, 1-3 mm wide, broadly lobed, greenish grey above, white but turning dark brown to black near the attachment point beneath, esorediate. Podetia goblet-shaped, hollow inside, greenish brown to greenish grey, strongly melanotic at base, usually esquamulose, 0.6-2(-4) cm tall, with 3-9 mm wide, regular or marginally proliferating cups gradually tapering to a short, 1-2 mm thick stalk. Surface of podetia at first corticate-areolate, soon becoming verruculose, the warts giving rise to rough, (20-) 40-80 μm wide granules, schizidia, phyllidia and microsquamules (true soredia absent). Apothecia infrequent, brown, shortly stalked on the margin of cups. Asci 8-spored, clavate, thickened at apex, with a K/I+ blue tholus and a K/I+ strongly blue outer gelatinous sheath, Cladonia-type. Ascospores 1-celled, hyaline, ellipsoid. Pycnidia rare, developing along the margin of cups, pyriform, with a colourless jelly. Conidia hyaline, curved. Photobiont chlorococcoid. Spot tests: K- or rarely K+ yellowish slowly turning brown, C- or C+ reddish, KC+ red in extracts only (microscope!), P+ red or P-, UV+ pale bluish white. Chemistry: chemotype 1) has merochlorophaeic, 4-0-methylcryptochlorophaeic and fumarprotocetraric acids as major and constant substances, chemotype 2) lacks fumarprotocetraric acid.
Growth form: Fruticose
Photobiont: green algae other than Trentepohlia
Reproductive strategy: mainly asexual, by soredia, or soredia-like structures (e.g. blastidia)
Most common in areas with a humid-warm climate (e.g. most of Tyrrenian Italy)
Poorly known taxon in need of further study
