Ciri dan struktur
Ochrolechia tartarea has a thallus that can grow quite thick (for crustose lichens), up to 3 mm or more. The thallus ranges in colour from pale to dark grey and has a rough, and crumbly surface. Its surface is often uneven, marked by numerous irregular warts forming a corrugated crust. Occasionally, it has a paler zoned margin and a pale prothallus (the initial fungal growth stage of the lichen). The apothecia, or reproductive structures, are usually frequent. They start off immersed and closed, but eventually become rounded or irregular in shape. These apothecia can be scattered or densely packed and are , meaning they sit directly on the thallus without a stalk. The , which is the rim around the apothecia, is thick and wavy. The , or the central part of the apothecia, can reach up to 5 mm in diameter (sometimes up to 8 mm) and ranges in colour from pale brown to dull orange-pink. It can be concave to flat and is either not or only translucently so, with a surface that is often roughened (). The , the uppermost layer of cells in the apothecia, is and these granules dissolve in potassium hydroxide (K) solution. The ascospores of Ochrolechia tartarea are broadly ellipsoidal, measuring between 40 to 70 micrometres (μm) in length and 20 to 40 μm in width. In chemical spot tests, the thallus reacts as follows: C+ (orange-red), K+ (pale yellow), KC+ (red), and both Pd− and UV−. The apothecial disc is also C+ (red), K−, KC+ (red), and Pd−. These reactions are due to the presence of gyrophoric acid and trace amounts of lecanoric acid, along with other unknown compounds.
Habitat dan peran ekologis
Ochrolechia tartarea grows on acidic rocks and shallow soil in moist conditions, primarily at higher elevations. The species is documented from the Alpine regions of Austria, Switzerland, France, and Italy. In Britain and Ireland it forms thick crusts on boulders and other siliceous rock, may overgrow moss-lichen heaths, and is only occasional on leached, acid bark. It favours wind-exposed uplands and other oceanic or montane environments with high rainfall; it is widespread across Britain and Ireland but becomes rare or absent in central and south-east England. In Central Europe it occupies non-calcareous silicate rocks, often with a thin humus cover, at light but frequently shaded sites that are repeatedly and intensely wetted, for example relatively sheltered faces of otherwise exposed crags. Ecologically, it prefers acidic substrates and thrives in moist, rain-exposed habitats; it tolerates only moderate light and is often found in the plant community Parmelietum omphalodis. Continental lowland reports are prone to confusion with similar taxa; for example, all published records from Poland proved to be misidentifications. Within Germany it is recorded chiefly from upland and alpine regions (e.g. the Harz and Alps), with scattered or doubtful occurrences elsewhere.
