Ciri dan struktur
Thallus crustose, grey, matt, thin (at the margin) or more usually thick, continuous or cracked, slightly folded at least the margins, later areolate-verrucose to tuberculate (sometimes only part of the thallus tuberculate). Areoles usually strongly convex, tuberculate and constricted at the base or resembling coarse isidia, sometimes pustulate, dispersed or aggregated. Soralia whitish to greenish-grey, flat or more often convex, rounded or more often irregular, bursting from the top of areoles, often fused and tending to coalesce locally on the thallus or covering most parts of the thallus, sometimes developing from irregular cracks of the thallus. Soredia up to 60 µm in diam., often in consoredia up to 120 µm wide. Apothecia rare, up to 1.2 mm in diam., single or grouped up to five apothecia. Thalline margin present in young apothecia, smooth to flexuose, verrucose or dentate, sometimes with small soralia, later excluded. Excipulum proprium thin, flesh-coloured to white grey in surface view, orange-brown in section, smooth or more often flexuous, up to 100 µm wide in section. Disc reddish-brown, thinly white pruinose. Hymenium up to 125 µm high. Epihymenium straw-brown (K+ pale reddish-brown), with dense granules dissolving in K. Paraphyses not capitate, sometimes anastomosing. Asci 8-spored, with uniformly KI+ blue apical dome. Ascospores 0–5-septate, spiralled in asci, hyaline, fusiform, curved, 35–53(–64) × 4.5–6.5(–7) µm. Pycnidia not known. Photobiont chlorococcoid, cells up to 12 µm in diam.
Habitat dan peran ekologis
The species is corticolous or lignicolous and grows on bark of various coniferous and deciduous tree in forests. The species was reported from many countries in the Northern Hemisphere; however, as some records may belong to L. chloropolia, its distribution needs revision. In the course of this study, we examined specimens from Austria, Czechia, Estonia, Finland, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Slovakia, United Kingdom, Ukraine and USA.
