Hypogymnia austerodes (Nyl.) Räsänen
Ann. Bot. Soc. Zool.-Bot. Fenn. Vanamo, 18, 1: 13, 1943. Basionym: Parmelia austerodes Nyl. - Flora, 64: 537, 1881.
Synonyms: Parmelia farinacea var. obscurascens Bitter; Parmelia obscurata Bitter non auct.; Parmelia obscurata var. isidiata (Lynge) H. Magn.
Distribution: N - Ven (Nascimbene & Caniglia 2000b, 2002c, 2003c, Nascimbene & al. 2006e, Nascimbene 2011), TAA (Nascimbene & Caniglia 2000b, 2002c, Nascimbene & al. 2005, 2006, 2006e, 2007b, 2009, 2010, 2014, 2022, Nascimbene 2006b, 2008b, 2014, Nimis & al. 2015), Lomb (Nascimbene & al. 2006e), Piem (Matteucci & al. 2013), VA (Matteucci & al. 2008).
Description: Thallus foliose, heteromerous, dorsiventral, adpressed, forming more or less regular, up to 5(-8) cm wide rosettes, the lobes contiguous, (0.5-)1-2(-3) mm wide, clearly swollen especially at the tips. Upper surface greenish grey to brown in peripheral parts, often mottled black, somehow glossy, with laminal, diffuse soredia developing from subisidiose, pustulate papillae. Lower surface black, brownish near the margins and at apex, glossy, erhizinate. Upper cortex of tightly packed, more or less anticlinally oriented hyphae, the cell walls with Cetraria-type lichenan; medulla soon becoming hollow, lining the cavity inside the lobes; lower cortex dark, paraplectenchymatous. Apothecia extremely rare, lecanorine, sessile, to 6 mm across, with a brown disc and a thin thalline margin. Epithecium brown; hymenium and hypothecium colourless. Asci 8-spored, clavate, Lecanora-type. Ascospores 1-celled, hyaline, broadly ellipsoid, 6.5-7.5 x 4.5-5 µm. Photobiont chlorococcoid. Spot tests: upper cortex K+ yellow, C-, KC-, P-, UV-; medulla K-, C-, KC+ orange-red, P-. Chemistry: upper cortex with atranorin and chloroatranorin; medulla with physodic acid (major), 3-hydroxyphysodic acid (accessory), 2'-O-methylphysodic acid (accessory), plus an unknown substance.Note: a mainly boreal-montane, circumpolar species found on acid bark, especially of conifers, and on lignum, occasionally on siliceous rocks, perhaps restricted to the climatically most continental parts of the Alps, with optimum near treeline. The record from the deciduous belt of Basilicata, by Potenza & Fascetti (2005), being dubious, is not accepted here.
Growth form: Foliose, narrow lobed
