Ciri dan struktur
The pale grey to dark grey thallus of Blastenia ferruginea is typically or in the host bark, with a thin profile. It has a smooth texture and a white-grey hue, although it can sometimes appear darker. The thallus is K−. The apothecia of Blastenia ferruginea measure 1–2 mm in diameter, and often have a markedly uneven and margin. They are rust red to reddish brown in colour. Unlike Blastenia crenularia, the in B. ferruginea is scanty or absent beneath the hymenium, further distinguishing it from its relative. Blastenia ferruginea can be distinguished from its close relative, B. hungarica, based on the size of their apothecia. While the apothecia of Blastenia ferruginea typically measure between 0.8 and 1.5 mm in diameter, those of B. hungarica are smaller, usually less than 0.6 mm in diameter.
Habitat dan peran ekologis
Blastenia ferruginea has a cosmopolitan distribution. It primarily grows on the bark of trees such as Hazel (Corylus), common aspen (Populus tremula), ash (Fraxinus), and Sorbus, and is occasionally found on old timber. In the United Kingdom, it is scarce and appears to be declining, with recent records mostly from Northern and Western Scotland, Western Ireland, and sporadically in Cumbria, Hampshire, and Sussex. It has become rare or extinct in most parts of England, Wales, and Central Europe. In Belgium, it was considered locally extinct because it had not been recorded since 1890, but it was discovered growing on willow (Salix) 120 years later. In Germany, the lichen is thought to have declined significantly in the second half of the twentieth century due to pollution, but as of 2018 appears to be making a comeback. Blastenia ferruginea was recorded as new to tropical Africa in 2005, and had previously been reported from South Africa and from Morocco.
