Ciri dan struktur
Tuckermannopsis orbata has a foliose (leafy) thallus that ranges in color from olive-brown to pale green when grown in the shade, to brown when exposed to the sun. It is loosely attached to its . The dthallus typically reaches up to 5 cm in diameter, although diameters up to 10 cm have been recorded. The thallus features ascending or appressed, ruffled that are 1.5 to 3.5 mm wide. The margins of the lobes can bear prominent black pycnidia, flattened and branched (small lobes originating from the edge or surface), or brown to black , with various combinations of these structures or none at all. This species lacks soredia and true isidia; however, the lobules, especially when branched and bearing pycnidia, can often resemble isidia. There are pseudocyphellae (tiny pores for gas exchange) scattered on the upper surface. The lower surface of the thallus is pale brown, strongly wrinkled, and sometimes scattered with pale rhizines. Apothecia (fruiting bodies) are very common and often abundant in Tuckermannopsis orbata. in form, they originate on both the lower and upper sides of the lobe margins or on the lobe surface. They are usually up to 7 mm wide (sometimes up to 10 mm) with a brown that is either concave or convex. The asci are cylindrical and with a small , and measure 30–40 by 8–10 μm. The are roughly spherical, measuring about 6 μm in diameter. Pycnidia can be found both and marginally. The pycnidia are dark and glossy, with a shape resembling a papilla or a barrel. The appearance of this species has been described as the most variable in genus Tuckermannopsis. There are no reactions to any of the standard spot tests (K−, KC−, C−, Pd−, UV−), but the lichen does contain protolichesterinic acid, a secondary metabolite (lichen product) that is a fatty acid.
Habitat dan peran ekologis
Tuckermannopsis orbata is typically found on the branches and twigs of birch and conifer trees, though it also occur on hardwoods, and, very rarely, on rock. In the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, it has been recorded on eastern hemlock, red spruce, yellow birch, and, at higher elevations, on Rhododendron. It occurs in both northeastern and northwestern North America. In the Pacific Northwest region, it prefers humid, low-elevation forests, and is common in areas close to the Pacific Coast. The western range of the species extends north to Alaska. In eastern North America it is more common at higher elevations. Tremella nephromopsidis is a lichenicolous fungus that has been recorded parasitizing the thalli of Tuckermannopsis orbata in California. Infection by the fungus results in the formation of a gall on the thallus surface, pale to medium brown in color and measuring 0.3–1.2 mm.
