Description: Thallus crustose, endosubstratic to thinly and partially episubstratic, forming up to 1 cm wide, characteristic round patches on the thalli of endolithic Bagliettoa-species, the margins often discoloured and whitish, the centres orange-yellow, several patches tending to merge to cover much larger surfaces; the characteristic, round, discoloured patches are visible on the thalli of the host also when the lichen has died. Apothecia rather frequent, zeorine, scattered to crowded in the center of the patches, immersed to adnate, 0.2-04(-0.7) mm across, with a flat to slightly convex, orange disc, and a proper margin of irregularly radiating, thick-walled hyphae. Epithecium orange, granular, K+ red; hymenium and hypothecium colourless; paraphyses usually simple, sometimes branched in upper part, 1.5-2.5 μm thick, the apical cells 4-5 μm wide. Asci 8-spored, cylindrical-clavate, functionally unitunicate, apically thickened with a broad internal beak, the inner part of apex and external cap I+ blue, Teloschistes-type. Ascospores 2-celled, polarilocular, hyaline, ellipsoid, (7-)10-13(-15) x 5-7(-8) μm, the equatorial thickening (“septum”) 3-7 μm. Photobiont: chlorococcoid. Spot tests: apothecia and pigmented parts of thallus K+ red, C-, KC-, P-. Chemistry: apothecia and sometimes thallus with parietin (major), fallacinal, emodin, teloschistin and parietinic acid (minor), corresponding with chemosyndrome A of Søchting (1997).
Note: a mild-temperate lichen found on hard, compact limestone in sites with plenty of diffuse light, such as in open deciduous forests; locally common in beech forests of Southern Italy. This species has been much misunderstood (see Arup 2009 and Roux & coll. 2014): here we restrict the records to those referring to specimens forming small, rounded, characteristic islands on the thalli of Bagliettoa-species (especially B. calciseda, Roux in litt.) in natural habitats, while the non-parasitic forms occurring on limestone and concrete are provisionally dealt with as F. oasis f. lithophila auct. In the past, this lichen might have been confused with F. polycarpa, and Italian samples need revision.
