Fissurina sporolata

Species of lichen

Fissurina sporolata is a species of corticolous (bark-dwelling), crustose lichen in the family Graphidaceae. Found in India, it was formally described as a new species in 2012 by Bharati Sharma, Pradnya Khadilkar, and Urmila Makhija. The type specimen was collected from Hebri (Karnataka), where it was found growing on a roadside tree trunk near a humid deciduous forest. This lichen has a brown, glossy, warty thallus that is finely cracked and rough. The lirellate ascomata are simple to rarely branched, immersed, the same colour as the thallus, and terminally acute, with a narrow disc that lacks pruina. The ascospores are 8-spored, hyaline, muriform, and ellipsoidal, multilocular, measuring 42–57 by 17–25 μm, with a 5–7 μm-thick halo. The hymenium is clear and hyaline, 225–250 μm high, and the hypothecium is hyaline and 20–25 μm high. No lichen products were detected in collected specimens.
