Ciri dan struktur
The lichen forms a granular, crust-like growth without defined edges or . While it lacks a true medulla, older specimens develop a lower of gelatinised . A distinctive feature of this species is the presence of small attaching hyphae that act as anchors or rhizines, causing the granules (soredia) to adhere to one another and to the surface they grow on. The soredia are abundant, measuring 40–100 μm in diameter, and tend to clump together. While Leprocaulon adhaerens is rarely found with apothecia (fruiting bodies), a fertile specimen was documented in San Benito County, California. The apothecia range from blackish-brown to reddish-brown, sometimes with a light , and have a distinct, raised margin. As they mature, they become strongly convex, with the margin turning under. The is absent or reduced to fragments of thallus adhering to the . The asci, which are of the Halecania-type, react I+ blue, with a thickened I+ blue dome. The ellipsoid, 1-septate ascospores measure 10–13 by 3.5–5 μm. The main secondary metabolites in L. adhaerens are pannarin and zeorin, though zeorin may occasionally be absent or present only in trace amounts. Additional minor compounds include norpannarin, dechloropannarin, hypopannarin and atranorin. Chemical spot tests results are K−, C−, KC−, and Pd+ (orange).
Habitat dan peran ekologis
Leprocaulon adhaerens typically grows on rocks, usually over mosses and lichens, and rarely on soil. It is found in open habitats exposed to rain and sunlight, though in snowy areas it occurs in more sheltered locations. The species is known to occur only in North America. It has been recorded in coastal southern California, from the Santa Monica Mountains south to San Diego, as well as in scattered locations in Pennsylvania and Missouri. Its known distribution may be influenced by collection efforts rather than its actual range. Due to its frequent association with bryophytes, L. adhaerens may often be overlooked or undercollected, and is likely to be more widespread across North America than records indicate.
