Dictyonema obscuratum is a species of basidiolichen in the family Hygrophoraceae.[1] Originally discovered in Brazil and later recorded in Bolivia and Colombia, its cryptic, olive-green thallus sets it apart from similar species like Dictyonema phyllophilum and D. schenckianum.
Taxonomy
The species was first described by lichenologists Robert Lücking, Adriano Spielmann, and Marcelo Marcelli. Its species name, obscuratum, reflects the very dark hue of the thallus, which can give the deceptive impression that the lichen is absent at first glance. The holotype of Dictyonema obscuratum was collected by the first author at an altitude of Шаблон:Convert in Mogi-Guaçu Biological Reserve (São Paulo, Brazil) during a November 2007 expedition.[2]
Description
This lichen adheres to tree trunks, forming a compact layer of dark olive-green Шаблон:Lichengloss. Individual patches can reach up to Шаблон:Convert across, but they often coalesce to cover larger areas. Underneath this layer is a thin, somewhat indistinct, sordid pale brown Шаблон:Lichengloss.[2]
The thallus, when viewed in cross-section, measures between 200 and 400 μm thick. This thickness is primarily composed of an upper Шаблон:Lichengloss and a lower medulla, forming the hypothallus. The cyanobacterial filaments that make up the photobiont layer are enclosed in a hyphal sheath, connected to loose hyphae towards the medulla. These dark green filaments can reach sizes of 20–25 μm wide and 6–8 μm high, often turning orange-yellow at the tips.[2]
The basidiospores of D. obscuratum are ellipsoid to narrowly drop-shaped, hyaline, and measure 7–9 by 3–4 μm. Thin-layer chromatography did not reveal any substances present in D. obscuratum.[2]
Similar species
Dictyonema obscuratum belongs to the complex previously thought to be a single species, Dictyonema sericeum. It stands out from related species like D. phyllophilum and D. schenckianum due to its very dark thallus and its dark green, irregularly arranged fibrils. The cells of the cyanobacterial filaments in D. obscuratum often divide longitudinally, creating a unique 'Шаблон:Lichengloss' appearance. This feature recalls D. moorei, but D. obscuratum lacks distinct separate filaments within a single sheath.[2]
Habitat and distribution
At the time of its publication, D. obscuratum had been found exclusively in the Cerrado (Cerrado denso) vegetation of São Paulo, Brazil. It is typically found growing on the corky bark of characteristic Cerrado trees.[2] In 2014, it was recorded from Bolivia,[3] and in 2015 from Colombia.[4]
