Synonyms: Solorina bispora Nyl. var. monospora (Gyeln.) Frey

Distribution:

Description: Thallus foliose to subcrustose, heteromerous, dorsiventral, usually poorly developed, often reduced to a continuous or lacerate, 0.5-1 mm wide collar around the apothecia. Upper surface pale grey, often white-pruinose, bright green when wet; lower surface white, tomentose. Upper cortex paraplectenchymatous; medulla white; lower cortex absent; internal cephalodia usually present. Apothecia frequent, semi-immersed, to 8 mm across, with a brown to black, urceolate disc, without a thalline margin. Proper exciple poorly developed; epithecium brownish; hymenium and hypothecium colourless; paraphyses coherent, not anastomosing, simple, the apical cells hardly swollen. Asci 1-spored, clavate, fissitunicate, the apex of the endoascus with a K/I+ blue ring-shaped structure, Peltigera-type. Ascospores (1-)2-3(-4)-septate, brown, subcylindrical, 90-165 x 33-45 μm, with a thick, ornamented wall. Photobiont chlorococcoid (Coccomyxa), and Nostoc in the internal cephalodia. Spot tests: upper cortex and medulla K-, C-, KC-, P-, UV-. Chemistry: without lichen substances.

Note: on basic soil over shaded limestone or calcareous schists in alpine environments; scattered in the European and Asian mountains, but not consistently distinguished, and perhaps more widespread in the Alps; never reported from Italy, but known from adjacent areas, and to be looked for in the Alps.
