Ciri dan struktur
The thallus consists of scattered to locally merging (small surface patches) that arise directly from the rock and may form patches up to about 5 cm across. Individual areoles are broadly attached, round to irregular, typically about 0.5–1.0 mm wide and usually less than about 0.4 mm tall. The upper surface is waxy white and glossy, turning green when wet. Young areoles often show a small red dot at the center, interpreted as either a pycnidium (an asexual structure) or a developing apothecium beneath the surface. Apothecia usually develop one per areole. They form beneath the surface and later break through, so the first appears as a tiny point-like () red-brown spot and later expands to a small concave disc (to about 0.4 mm across). Under the microscope, the hymenium (spore-bearing layer) is tall (reported around 170–200 μm, with higher values noted as possible), and the paraphyses (sterile filaments among the asci) are narrow (about 1 μm wide). Asci contain many spores (often more than 100), and the ascospores are hyaline (colorless) and mostly globose, typically about 7–10(–12) μm in diameter (or broadly ellipsoid, about 7–9 × 5–7 μm). Pycnidia are rare. The conidia (asexual spores) are rod-shaped and were reported as about 5–6 × 1–1.3 μm in the original description, while a later summary gave conidia as 4–5 × 1–1.5 μm. No secondary metabolites were detected; standard spot tests were negative (K−, C−, KC−, P−, UV−).
Habitat dan peran ekologis
Trimmatothelopsis sphaerosperma is a calciphile (calcium-loving), occurring on calcium-rich rocks. In North America it is known from the Ozarks (including Arkansas and multiple sites in Missouri), with an additional record from Ohio; recorded substrates include dolomite, limestone, chert, and calcareous rubble or pebbles in alkaline settings. A 2021 treatment expanded the documented range to Europe (Czech Republic) and summarized the substrate range more broadly as dolomite, limestone, marlite, chert, speculite, and opoka (a calcareous sedimentary sandstone).
