Micarea lignaria

Back on the lichen again. This one I thought would be easy with as the spores were 7-septate but despite this it wasn't easy. For me the biggest problem was working out the apothecia type. Lecanorine was easy to eliminate leaving perithecia and lecideine. The lack of a flask left me with lecideine as the only option. The thallus I also had trouble with. The book seem to have trouble describing it also.
