Slo.: rnea oganka - syn.: Ustulina deusta (Hoffm.) Lind, Hypoxylon deustum - Habitat: light, mixed woodland Picea abies and Fagus sylvatica dominant; slightly inclined mountain slope, south aspect; calcareous, skeletal ground; half shade, quite humid place; exposed to direct rain; average precipitations ~ 3.000 mm/year, average temperature 6 - 8 deg C, elevation 715 m (2.350 feet), alpine phytogeographical region.Substratum: mostly debarked places of a heavily decayed, still standing trunk of Fagus sylvatica.Comments: This is a quite a common fungus in Upper Posoje region, not really among the most beautiful, but still interesting. This species is much brighter when young, becoming black as charcoal when old. Growing on several places of a still standing trunk of large Fagus sylvatica. Ascomata confluent into patches up to 25 x 10 cm, with bumps from 3 to 10(15) mm in diameter, 2 to 6(10) mm thick, perithecia about 1 mm in diameter; very brittle, so it can't be cut even not with a sharp surgical knife without breaking it into pieces; no smell; SP none, spores found within crashed perithecia; these were rather old sporocarps.Spores smooth, dark, seems much flattened on one side (which probably explains large variability of their measured width compared to stable length), some with small drops. Dimensions: 28.3 [30.3 ; 31.2] 33.1 x 8.8 [9.9 ; 10.5] 11.6 microns; Q = 2.5 [2.9 ; 3.1] 3.5; N = 30; C = 95%; Me = 30.7 x 10.2 microns; Qe = 3.

Slo.: ? - Cladonia portentosa (Dufour) Coem. (1865), syn.: Cladonia impexa Harm. (1907), Cladina portentosa (Dufour) Follmann, (1979)- Habitat: at the foot of a low elevation scree slope, among small, retarded Picea abies and Fraxinus ornus trees, southeast inclined mountain slope, calcareous ground, quite open, dry and sunny place, exposed to direct rain, average precipitations ~ 3.000 mm/year, average temperature 7-9 deg C, elevations 650 m (2.150 feet), alpine phytogeographical region. - Substratum: nutrients poor sandy soil of scree ground. - Comments: This gray-green species of genus Cladonia, growing usually in 'broccoli-like pillows', is quite common locally. It can be found on dry, stony, deteriorating, long time ago abandoned pastures. Its main characteristics are rich, filigree branching and lack of tendency to one-sidedly oriented terminal branches with sharp apices (to the contrast to several other similar species where the branches' tips are more or lessoriented in the same direction). Growing was growing in several, mostly round patches in the vicinity. Round clumps measured up to 20 cm (8') in diameter and had about 5 cm (2') thicknesses. The largest 'continuous' mat found measured about 1 x 0.6 m (3 x 2 feet). Photographed species were in almost dry state. This determination seems quite probable but is not completely certain since no chemical tests have been made and several species with similar habitus exist. - Ref.: (1) F.S.

The largest 'continuous' mat found measured about 1 x 0.6 m (3 x 2 feet). Photographed species were in almost dry state. This determination seems quite probable but is not completely certain since no chemical tests have been made and several species with similar habitus exist. - Ref.: (1) F.S.

Shown with young leaves of Rumex scutatus. - Slo.: ? - Cladonia portentosa (Dufour) Coem. (1865), syn.: Cladonia impexa Harm. (1907), Cladina portentosa (Dufour) Follmann, (1979)- Habitat: at the foot of a low elevation scree slope, among small, retarded Picea abies and Fraxinus ornus trees, southeast inclined mountain slope, calcareous ground, quite open, dry and sunny place, exposed to direct rain, average precipitations ~ 3.000 mm/year, average temperature 7-9 deg C, elevations 650 m (2.150 feet), alpine phytogeographical region. - Substratum: nutrients poor sandy soil of scree ground. - Comments: This gray-green species of genus Cladonia, growing usually in 'broccoli-like pillows', is quite common locally. It can be found on dry, stony, deteriorating, long time ago abandoned pastures. Its main characteristics are rich, filigree branching and lack of tendency to one-sidedly oriented terminal branches with sharp apices (to the contrast to several other similar species where the branches' tips are more or lessoriented in the same direction). Growing was growing in several, mostly round patches in the vicinity. Round clumps measured up to 20 cm (8') in diameter and had about 5 cm (2') thicknesses. The largest 'continuous' mat found measured about 1 x 0.6 m (3 x 2 feet). Photographed species were in almost dry state. This determination seems quite probable but is not completely certain since no chemical tests have been made and several species with similar habitus exist. - Ref.: (1) F.S.
