in Brodo & Hertel, Herzogia, 7: 510, 1987. Basionym: Lecidea panaeola Ach. - K. Vetensk.-Akad. Nya Handl.: 267, 1808.
Synonyms: Huilia panaeola (Ach.) Hertel; Lecidea panaeola var. vulgaris Th. Fr.; Psora panaeola (Ach.) Anzi
Description: Thallus crustose, episubstratic, up to 2 mm thick, pinkish grey, pale brown or yellowish pink, areolate-verrucose, often sorediate, usually delimited by a dark prothallus. Areoles up to 1.2 mm wide, convex, sometimes bullate, rounded to angular by mutual compression (especially in the central parts of thallus), often sorediate along the margins. Cephalodia arising mainly between the areoles, pinkish or reddish brown, 0.5-1.4 mm wide, with a tuberculate-botryoid surface. Medulla white, I-. Apothecia rare, arising between the areoles and usually not protruding, lecideine, up to 1 mm across, with a mostly flat, black, epruinose, roughened disc and a thin, brownish black, persistent or finally excluded proper margin. Proper exciple poorly developed, brown, of conglutinated, radially arranged hyphae; epithecium brownish black, covered in a granular, black layer; hymenium colourless, up to 160 μm high, I+ blue; paraphyses coherent, slender, branched and anastomosing, not or only slightly thickened at tips, often moniliform in upper part; hypothecium dark brown. Asci 8-spored, elongate-clavate, with a thin, outer amyloid layer and a thickened tholus penetrated by a pore, the sides of which stain I/KI+ deep blue, Porpidia-type. Ascospores 1-celled, hyaline, ellipsoid, 22-27 x 9-15 μm, when young with a thin perispore. Pycnidia black, immersed. Conidia short-acicular, straight, 7-10 μm long. Photobiont chlorococcoid; cephalodia with Stigonema. Spot tests: cortex K-, C+ red, KC+ red, P-; medulla K-, C-, KC-, P-. Chemistry: cortex with gyrophoric acid and traces of lecanoric acid.
