Ciri dan struktur
Candelariella boleana forms small, scattered yellowish to greenish on tree bark, each measuring 0.05-0.15 millimetres (mm) in diameter. Unlike many lichens that form continuous crusty patches, this species appears as individual tiny bumps that do not connect to form a solid covering. The lichen lacks a (a preliminary fungal growth stage seen in many lichen species). The reproductive structures (apothecia) are small disc-like formations measuring 0.2–0.4 mm across. These appear bright yellow due to yellow (a powdery coating) and can be either flat or slightly convex as they mature. The apothecia contain the lichen's spore-producing structures. A distinctive feature of C. boleana is found under microscopic examination: its asci (spore-containing sacs) are club-shaped and unusually large, measuring 35–52 by 14–20 micrometres (μm). Each ascus contains 16–32 spores, which is significantly more than the typical 8 spores found in most lichen species. The spores themselves are perfectly spherical, colourless, and measure 4–5.5 μm in diameter—a unique characteristic that immediately distinguishes this species from all other known Candelariella species. The lichen's algal partner () belongs to the family Chlorococcaceae, with individual algal cells measuring 9–20 μm in diameter. Chemical analysis reveals that the species contains only pulvinic acid, which contributes to its characteristic yellow colouration.
Habitat dan peran ekologis
Candelariella boleana has a limited and scattered distribution across southern and central Europe, having been documented in Spain, Greece, and Slovakia. The species appears to be rare, with only eight known collections despite being recognized by researchers for over 15 years. In Spain's Pyrenees mountains (Huesca and Navarra), the species grows on the bark of Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris) and oak (Quercus) trees in woodland environments at elevations between 850 and 1,200 metres above sea level. In Greece, it has been found growing on Mediterranean cypress (Cupressus sempervirens) and stinking juniper (Juniperus foetidissima) at elevations of 1,050 to 1,150 metres. The Slovak populations represent the species' northernmost known limit, occurring in well-lit, dry oak woodlands dominated by Dalechamp's oak (Quercus dalechampii) and Hungarian oak (Q. polycarpa) on limestone bedrock in Muránska planina National Park in the Western Carpathians, at roughly 550 metres elevation. This region is known for hosting several lichen species that typically have more southern distributions in Europe. Recent discoveries have significantly expanded the known range of C. boleana to include Germany and France.
