Ciri dan struktur
Pseudothelomma ocellatum has a crustose (crust-like) thallus that is well-developed, with either a mosaic-like pattern () or elevated, coarse, and flattened warts, typically coloured grey. The lichen is characterised by frequent isidia, which are small, outgrowth propagules that form irregular but well-defined clusters of blue or brown-black colour, generally slightly raised (convex). The medulla, or inner layer of the thallus, turns a blue colour when iodine is applied (I+ blue). The reproductive structures, known as apothecia, are within the thallus; they are generally absent in this species, although there have been reported instances of this normally sterile lichen as fertile. of P. ocellatum are divided by a single internal cross wall (1-septate), pinched at the division (constricted at the septum), and have an uneven surface; they measure 22–28 micrometres (μm) in length and 12–15 μm in width. They sometimes have a slightly ornamentation consisting of irregular surface striations, visible using light microscopy. Chemical spot tests on the thallus yield negative results (C−, K−, Pd−, UV−), suggesting the absence of secondary metabolites (lichen products). However, the species has occasionally been recorded as containing compounds such as atranorin, norstictic acid, and usnic acid. Specifically, the outer ring of the apothecia () and the mass of ascospores may contain rhizocarpic acid and epanorin.
Habitat dan peran ekologis
Pseudothelomma ocellatum is distributed widely in the Northern Hemisphere, particularly in temperate to cool temperate areas. It was once believed to be confined to the western mountainous regions from southern California to British Columbia, extending as far inland as central Montana. Tibell first documented the species in 1978, with the next report coming from British Columbia in 1992. In 1995, McCune and Rosentreter noted that the species is rarely found west of the Cascade crest in Oregon and Washington and is absent from the extreme coastal regions. In California, the lichen seems to be prevalent in the northeast part of the state and becomes less frequent moving southward, occurring sporadically in both the Sierra foothills and the Coast Ranges. A significant discovery in 2013, however, extended its range to include the Yukon, marking a notable expansion of its distribution. A search of North America herbaria in the mid-1990s turned up a few specimens of Pseudothelomma ocellatum that had been stored under the name Cyphelium inquinans. In California, Pseudothelomma ocellatum has been observed growing on wooden corral boards adjacent to metal fence posts, a specific microhabitat thought to be influenced by nitrate enrichment caused by perching birds around these posts.
