Ciri dan struktur
The thallus is usually very thin and may be largely (developing within the bark), forming a smooth, white to grey, crustose layer that is often almost immersed in the substrate or present only as small patches among other lichens. It lacks a distinct cortex, and dried material may develop surface crystals and take on a slightly waxy appearance. The apothecia are minute (typically up to about 0.3–0.4 mm across) and are often closely grouped or contiguous. The is persistent and pale to yellow, while the is flat and pale yellow to orange, only rarely becoming deeper orange. The hymenium is about 70–90 μm thick and the about 40–65 μm; pycnidia are rarely observed and conidia have not been seen. The paraphyses have broadened tips (to about 6 μm). The asci are usually 12–16-spored (sometimes 8-spored), and the ellipsoidal ascospores measure about 10–13 × 6–7 μm, with a septum 3–5 μm thick that is typically about one-quarter to one-half of the spore length. Spot tests have been reported as K− on the thallus, with the apothecial margin and disc K+ (purple). The main secondary metabolite is parietin, accompanied by smaller amounts of other anthraquinones (including emodin and teloschistin). In the field, Athallia cerinella can closely resemble the similar Athallia cerinelloides; the two are usually separated by microscopy, as A. cerinella typically has 12–16 ascospores per ascus, whereas A. cerinelloides has eight.
Habitat dan peran ekologis
Athallia cerinella is a bark-dwelling species recorded on trees and shrubs across Europe, and it has also been reported from the Americas, Australia, and New Zealand. In Britain and Ireland it grows on bark, especially on twigs and small branches of Fraxinus and Sambucus nigra, in nutrient-rich epiphytic communities, especially those of the Xanthorion (a community of bark-dwelling lichens, often on trees influenced by dust or bird droppings); it was once considered scarce there but is probably under-recorded, with many recent finds. It was recorded as new to Latvia in 2016. In the Nordic countries it occurs mainly on deciduous trees, especially Fraxinus, Populus and Sambucus, usually on branches in open to semi-open habitats such as forest edges, gardens and open woodland. It is often found with Athallia pyracea, Lecania cyrtella and Lecidella elaeochroma, and is largely confined there to the hemiboreal and nemoral zones. In the Netherlands, the species grows on twigs and small branches of deciduous trees such as Sambucus (elder), poplar, and ash, and it occurs in the epiphytic lichen community known as the Lecanoretum sambuci. It was long known there only from collections made before 1910 and was treated as extinct in 20th-century and early 21st-century checklists, but it was later reported again from Amersfoort (Utrecht), growing on a relatively young lime (Tilia) planted in 1990; the author suggested it may have arrived with nursery stock.
