Calicium
''Calicium'' is a genus of leprose lichens. It is in the family Caliciaceae. The sexual reproduction structures are a mass of loose ascospores that are enclosed by a cup shaped exciple sitting on top of a tiny stalk, having the appearance of a dressmaker's pin (called a mazaedium), hence the common name pin lichen.Field Guide to California Lichens, Stephen Sharnoff, Yale University Press, 2014, They are also commonly called stubble lichens. They have been used as indicator species for old growth redwood forests. Evolutionary history The discovery of a ''Calicium''-like fossil in Baltic amber dating back 55–35 myr indicates that the main distinguishing characteristics of this genus have persisted for at least tens of millions of years. A fossil-calibrated phylogeny that includes this fossil suggests that the family Caliciaceae diversified from its most recent common ancestor 103–156 Myr ago in the early Cretaceous.

Caliciaceae
The Caliciaceae are a family of mostly lichen-forming fungi belonging to the class Lecanoromycetes in the division Ascomycota. Although the family has had its classification changed several times throughout its taxonomic history, the use of modern molecular phylogenetic methods have helped to establish its current placement in the order Caliciales. Caliciaceae contains 36 genera and about 600 species. The largest genus is ''Buellia'', with around 300 species; there are more than a dozen genera that contain only a single species. Most Caliciaceae grow on bark, dead wood, or rocks. Some members of this family, particularly those of the type genus, ''Calicium'', are characterized by the presence of thin-walled and short-lasting asci (spore-bearing cells) and a mazaedium, which is an accumulation of loose, maturing spores covering the surface of the fruiting body. The resulting passive spore dispersal is relatively rare amongst the Ascomycota. The mazaedium, usually black, either ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Calicium Viride
''Calicium viride'', commonly known as the green stubble lichen, is a species of pin lichen in the family Caliciaceae, and the type species of the genus ''Calicium''. It is a common and widely distributed species in temperate areas of the Northern Hemisphere and southern South America. Taxonomy It was described as a new species by Christiaan Hendrik Persoon in 1794. ''Calcium viride'' is the type species of the genus ''Calicium''. The common name for the lichen in North America is "green stubble lichen". The ''Calicium viride'' group is the name of a clade of closely related species that all have ascomata supported on relatively large and sturdy stalks, and spores with a distinctive spiral ornamentation. This group also includes '' C. corynellum'', '' C. salicinum'', and '' C. quercinum'', as well as '' Cyphelium lecideinum'', which lacks a stalk but also has spiral-striated spores.
