Ciri dan struktur
Chaenotheca brachypoda is a tiny pin lichen whose main body (the thallus) lives almost entirely inside the bark it colonises, so little more than a faint stain is usually visible on the surface. Its internal algal partner (Stichococcus) forms a thin green layer that keeps the lichen self-sufficient by providing photosynthate. Above the bark rise the minute fruiting structures that give the species its pin-like appearance. Each consists of a hair-fine stalk only 0.04–0.08 mm thick that lifts the spore-bearing head 0.4–1.4 mm into the air. Both stalk and head are cloaked in a dense yellow-green —a frost-like coating of crystalline pigments containing vulpinic and pulvinic acids—which sometimes leaves the lower half of the stalk exposed as glossy black. The head itself is near-spherical, just 0.1–0.2 mm across. Its outer rim () is poorly developed and may appear only as a slight collar sitting below the dark-brown , the powdery mass of mature spores. Microscopically, the sacs that produce spores (asci) grow in chains and vary in outline from cylindrical to irregular. Each ascus releases numerous spherical to cuboid ascospores 3–4 μm in diameter. The spore walls are unevenly thickened and show a network of fine cracks, features that help separate C. brachypoda from closely related species.
