Acolium is a genus of lichenized fungi in the family Caliciaceae.[1] The genus has a widespread distribution and contains six species. These lichens are found on bark and wood, occasionally on rocks, or growing on other lichens.[2]

The genus was originally proposed as a subdivision of Calicium by Erik Acharius in 1808,[3] and promoted to generic status by Samuel Frederick Gray in 1821.[4]

Description

Acolium is characterized by a crustose thallus that can vary in appearance from a rough, warty surface to a cracked, mosaic-like pattern. The thallus can be thick or thin, and its colour ranges from grey to brownish. However, in species that live on other lichens, the thallus is absent. The Шаблон:Lichengloss of these lichens is composed of interwoven hyphae, and they have a Шаблон:Lichengloss photobiont.[2]

Acolium lichens produce apothecia, which are black, and can be either sessile or partially immersed. The Шаблон:Lichengloss is consistently thick, particularly at the base, and has a blackish-brown hue, occasionally displaying a white or grey powdery appearance. The Шаблон:Lichengloss, which is not easily visible, consists of simple, unbranched Шаблон:Lichengloss. Asci develop individually from Шаблон:Lichengloss hyphae with croziers and are cylindrical in shape. They possess a single functional wall layer and disintegrate early on, releasing spores into a dry, black, powdery mass called a Шаблон:Lichengloss.[2]

The Шаблон:Lichengloss of Acolium lichens have a single septum; they have shapes ranging from broadly cylindrical to ellipsoidal. They exhibit a slight or pronounced constriction at the septum and have a thick, dark brown wall adorned with unique ornamentation such as irregular cracks, warts, or parallel ridges. The Шаблон:Lichengloss, or Шаблон:Lichengloss, are spherical or slightly flattened, measuring 50–200 μm in diameter, and initially semi-immersed in the thallus. The conidiophores are branched, and the Шаблон:Lichengloss are aseptate and colourless, existing in two types: cylindrical and tapering at one end or ellipsoidal. Chemically, Acolium lichens contain pulvinic acid derivatives, which are yellow pigments, along with unidentified compounds.[2]

Species

Шаблон:As of, Species Fungorum (in the Catalogue of Life) accepts 6 species of Acolium.[1]
