Gyalecta jenensis (Batsch) Zahlbr., syn.: Gyalecta cupularis (Hedw.) Schaer., Lecidea cupularis (Hedw.) Ach., Cappellettia cupularis (Hedw.) Tomas. & Cif.Rock Dimple Lichen, Dimple LichenSlo.: - ?Dat.: Feb.: 10. 2018Lat.: 46.36023 Long.: 13.596308Code: Bot_1111/2018_DSC0872Habitat: 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, current temperatures from -5 at night to +4 deg C during the day, rainy weather; elevation 470 m 1.530 feet), alpine phytogeographical region.Substratum: calcareous rocks of a vertical wall of a bridge over a mountain stream.Place: Bovec basin, at the mouth of Bavica valley; near the destroyed water mill on umnik stream; East Julian Alps, Posoje, Slovenia EC 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. The lichen was in damp state when photographed. This species was photographed at this place almost exactly ten years ago. Ref.:(1) I.M.

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. Ref.: http://members.chello.at/johannes.pruegger/uni/slovenia/ , Wirth, (1995), Die Flechten Baden-Wuerttembergs, Ulmer, Vol.1., p410, Brodo, Sharnoff, Sharnoff (2001), Lichens of North Ameria, Yale Uni.Press, p329.
