Teloschistes spinosus

Ciri dan struktur

Teloschistes spinosus has a thallus that ranges in colour from yellow to orange-yellow. Initially, it appears as small scales on twigs but eventually forms small, cushion-like clusters up to 3 cm in diameter and 2–5 mm high. The thallus has numerous slender, star-shaped that are typically 1–3 mm long, occasionally reaching up to 5 mm. These lobes are narrow, about 0.3–0.8 mm wide, and relatively thin, with a thickness of 0.1–0.15 mm. They are sparsely branched and range from flat to slightly curved upward (caniculate) on top, while being loosely attached (adnate) to the or sometimes standing upright. These lobes are adorned with scattered, hair-like extensions () that are similar in colour to the thallus and measure 1–1.5 mm long, and there are also a few whitish root-like structures () on the lower surface. This species does not produce soredia, which are granular clusters of cells used for vegetative reproduction. The upper of the thallus is fibrous, about 20–50 μm thick, composed of tightly packed 4 μm-thick fungal filaments (hyphae). Below this layer, the is irregularly distributed, containing cells of the green algal genus Trebouxia about 10–18 μm in diameter. The medulla, or innermost layer of the thallus, features loosely intertwined thin-walled hyphae about 3 μm in diameter. The lower cortex is up to 50 μm thick and is a mix of fibrous and more tightly packed () tissue. The reproductive structures, or apothecia, initially form directly on the upper surface of the thallus and later raise on 2–4 mm long grooved stalks as the thallus thickens and becomes erect. These are 3–5 mm in diameter, flat or slightly convex, with a subtly wavy edge that gradually becomes indistinct.
