Ciri dan struktur
Rhizocarpon reductum grows directly on rock surfaces, forming either loose, spreading films or discrete patches one to two centimetres across that often merge into larger fields. Its thallus—a thin, crust-like body—ranges from pale grey to brown and cracks into tiny angular plates () about 0.2–0.4 mm wide; these plates are usually flat or gently domed, and in rare cases they lift slightly like minute scales. A thin black , the advance guard of fungal threads, usually rims each colony and can dominate shaded substrates where the main thallus is reduced. Black apothecia, the lichen's reproductive , are scattered among the areoles. At first they are flush with the surface () but may become stalk-less cups () that rise fractionally above it; each disc is 0.4–0.6 mm in diameter, rough-textured, and turns strongly convex as it over-matures. A narrow fungal wall () borders young apothecia; it is built from radiating hyphae whose outer cells are blue-black, but this rim can erode as the disc bulges. The transparent spore-bearing layer (hymenium) is 120–140 μm tall, overlaid by an olive-green that flashes blue with potassium hydroxide solution (K+ reaction) and brick-red with nitric acid (N+). Below lies a mid- to dark-brown . Slender —supporting filaments only about 1 μm thick—thread the hymenium; they branch rarely, do not swell at their tips, and lack a sharply pigmented cap. Each club-shaped ascus measures 65–80 × 25–33 μm and houses eight colourless ascospores. Mature spores are eumuriform, usually 24–26 × 8–10 μm, and divided into eight to ten (rarely twelve) chambers in optical view.
Habitat dan peran ekologis
Rhizocarpon reductum is widely distributed across the globe, with occurrences in Australia and New Zealand, the British Isles, continental Europe, Arctic Eurasia, Morocco, Tunisia, Turkey, Ukraine, Central Asia, China, South Africa, North America, Venezuela, Bolivia, Chile, Argentina, the Falkland Islands, and Antarctica. In Central Europe the species has been verified from siliceous sandstones of the Gorce Mountains (Western Beskids, Polish Carpathians) at 530–1,220 m elevation, where it colonises exposed, periodically sun-warmed boulders and road-cut faces.
