Collema furfuraceum (Arnold) Du Rietz

Ark. Bot. K. Svenska Vetensk.-Akad., 22 A-3: 3, 1929.. Basionym: Synechoblastus nigrescens var. furfuraceum (Schaer.) Arnold - Flora, 64: 115, 1881
Synonyms: Collema furfuraceum Du Rietz; Collema nigrescens var. furfuraceum (Du Rietz) H. Olivier
Description: Thallus foliose, homoiomerous, subgelatinous when wet, membranous and closely adnate, broadly lobed, (2-)3-8(-10) cm across. Lobes 0.5-1 cm broad, (50-)60-105 µm thick, apically rounded, dark olive-green to brownish black, paler and subtransparent when wet, strongly ridged and often pustulate in young parts, covered in simple or branched, mostly terete, cylindrical (globular when young) isidioid outgrowths which are 0.05-0.15 mm wide and up to 0.3 mm long and mostly concentrated on the pustules/ridges. Lower surface dark olive-green to brownish black, paler than upper surface, with scattered white hapters. Upper and lower cortices absent. Apothecia rare, 0.5-1.5 mm across, with a brown disc and a densely pseudoisidiate thalline margin. Thalline exciple usually pseudocorticate; proper exciple euthy- to subparaplectenchymatous; epithecium brownish; hymenium colourless, 85-110 µm high; paraphyses coherent, simple or sparingly branched, 2-3 µm thick at mid-level, the apical cells swollen; hypothecium pale yellow. Asci 8-spored, cylindrical-clavate, the apex strongly thickened, the apical dome K/I+ pale blue, with a downwardly projecting K/I+ deep blue tubular structure. Ascospores 4-5-septate, hyaline, bacilliform to acicular, often curved, 40-80 x 3-6.5(-8) µm. Pycnidia common, globose, superficial centrally but immersed marginally, on both sides of thallus. Conidia bacilliform, somewhat swollen towards ends, 4-6 x c. 1 µm. Photobiont cyanobacterial (Nostoc, the cells in long chains). Spot tests: all negative. Chemistry: without lichen substances.
Growth form: Foliose, broad lobed
Substrata: bark
Photobiont: cyanobacteria, filamentous (e.g. Nostoc, Scytonema)
Reproductive strategy: mainly asexual, by isidia, or isidia-like structures (e.g. schizidia)
Most common in areas with a humid-warm climate (e.g. most of Tyrrenian Italy)
