Mushroom Observer Image 845290: Gyalecta jenensis (Batsch) Zahlbr.
-
Slo.: - ? - Habitat: Stony wall of a bridge across a water stream, 2 m (6 feet) above water level, N faced, humid and shady place, precipitations 3.000 mm/year, average temperature 8-10 deg C, altitude 450 m (1.500 feet), alpine phytogeographical region. Substratum: vertical and over hanged calcareous rock

Soaked wet conditions. Eventually Gyalecta leucaspis? According to Wirth a very rare species for Germany. Pruegger et all. 'Alphabetical list of lichenized fungi for the six phytogeographical regions of Slovenia' has this species listed. G. leucaspis has vividly pink to light orange thallus and its apothecia rim disintegrate into 5-10 radial sections when old (Wirth, 1995). This corresponds well to my pictures. However, I can not find thick gray-white pruina on apothecia which is also a typical character for G. leucapsis. On the other hand, in literature and on web I have never found mentioning vivid orange as a possible thallus color of G. jenensis. G. jenensis is quite common here and also a possibility. Observing spores would resolve the dilemma. Habitat: Road scarp rocks of a dirt road, humid shady place, mixed forest and grassland around, no insolation during winter months, often wet, north oriented, 1.5 mm off the road level, exposed to precipitations, precipitations ~3.000 mm/year, average temperature 7-9 deg C, elevation 400 m (1.300 feet), alpine phytogeographical region. Substratum: vertical calcareous rock surface.

Tomas. & Cif. - Habitat: narrow canyon; stony, vertical, calcareous, manmade supporting wall; north aspect; very humid place with no sun most of the year; in total shade; about 1.5 m above the mountain stream; exposed to direct rain; average precipitations ~ 3.000 mm/year, average temperature 8-10 deg C, elevation 470 m 1.530 feet), alpine phytogeographical region.Substratum: calcareous rocks of a vertical wall of a bridge over a mountain stream.Comments: Gyalecta jenensis is a quite common but nice small jewel among crustose, saxicolous (growing on rocks) lichens. It has waxy-looking, from pale or vividly yellow to deep orange apothecia with whitish, usually cracked to segments margins. The inconspicuous thallus is grayish with sometimes pink tint but often covered by dark layer of cyanobacteria, which makes its appearance black (Ref.:1). It is often found together with Trentepohlia aurea, an orange filamentous algae capable to live outside water (see orange tufts on pictures 11b and 12b). The photobiont of Gyalecta jenensis is also Trentepohlia algae. This species was photographed at this place almost exactly ten years ago. Ref.:(1) I.M. Brodo, S.D.
