Ciri dan struktur
The macroscopic appearance of this lichen is quite distinct. It is recognizable by the apparent wart-like thallus and very apparent stalked apothecia that are quite small and have a pin or needle-like appearance. The thallus of this lichen is typically a light gray, with patches of yellow or red-orange as well. The appearance is verrucose, meaning that it has patches of thallus elevated above the substrate as well as growth beneath. The distinct convex apothecium contains groups of asci bundled together alongside sterile hyphae that grow from the center of the stalk. These asci tend to be cylindrical in shape and contain 8 ascospores each. Additionally, the arrangement of these ascospores can be either in 1 or 2 rows, still coming to a total of 8 ascospores per asci. The spores of this organism are distinct in their shape and coloration. The ascospores of this fungus are globose, or spherical and have a distinct yellow-brown coloration. Another notable characteristic of these spores is that they are fissured in their structure. Under a microscope this appears as defined creases in the spore. However, this fissured feature is mainly observed in mature spores. These spores tend to be 7 to 8 micrometers in diameter as well. The photobiont that this fungus forms a lichenized structure alongside is typically of the genus Trebouxia, which is a form of green algae. There are other genera that species in the genus Chaenotheca will form a lichen with, but still these are typically still other green algae. Trebouxia in particular is a green, globose algae that lives in conjunction with Chaenotheca ferruginea.
Habitat dan peran ekologis
Chaenotheca ferruginea is widely distributed across Europe and is also somewhat prolific on the East and West coasts of the United States. However, there have been observations of this species globally, including in Costa Rica, Argentina, Australia, and New Zealand.
