Biology:Blastodesmia
Blastodesmia is a monotypic fungal genus in the family Pyrenulaceae.[1] It contains the single species Blastodesmia nitida,[2] a corticolous (bark-dwelling) crustose lichen found in Europe. Both the genus and the species were described in 1852 by the Italian botanist Abramo Bartolommeo Massalongo.[3] Historically, two other species have been included in the genus, but are currently not accepted by Species Fungorum:[2]
Characteristics of genus Blastodesmia include paraphyses in the [[Glossary of lichen terms#{{biology:{1}}}|{{Biology:{1}}}]], transversely septate [[Glossary of lichen terms#{{biology:{1}}}|{{Biology:{1}}}]] that are grey to brown in colour, and pyrenocarp-type ascomata with [[Glossary of lichen terms#{{biology:{1}}}|{{Biology:{1}}}]] ascoma walls. The ascospores are mostly 37–47 μm long and have a constriction at the septa.[5]
