Solenopsora Candicans
''Solenopsora'' is a genus of lichen-forming fungi in the family Catillariaceae. It has 15 species, with a mostly Northern Hemisphere distribution. Taxonomy The genus was circumscribed by Italian lichenologist Abramo Bartolommeo Massalongo in 1855, with ''Solenopsora requienii'' assigned as the type species. However, this species had previously been described in 1840 by Camille Montagne, as ''Parmelia holophaea''. Description ''Solenopsora'' lichens produce thalli of various morphologies, including crust-like (crustose), scaley (squamulose), and leafy (foliose). Depending on the species, the apothecia may be immersed on the substrate, emergent on the substrate surface, or somewhat elevated on a stalk (''stipitate''). A combination of microscopic characteristics define the genus ''Solenopsora''. They all have asci that contain eight spores, and are of the ''Catillaria''-type. This means that they have a prominent, amyloid tholus (the thickened inner part of the tip of an ascus ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
