Scutellinia heterosculpturata

Species growing on soil in very damp places, with sessile, disc-shaped apothecia 0.5 to 1.4 cm across, orange, with the margin fringed with short brown hairs.

Marginal hairs thick-walled, with 4 to 8 septa, brown under the microscope, mostly simple-based, occasionally bifurcate, 350 to 700 µm long, maximum width 20 to 28 µm.

Asci cylindrical, eight-spored, operculate, 210 to 250 µm long, 17 to 21 µm wide, with uniseriate spore arrangement inside the ascus, and inamyloid in Melzer's reagent.

Paraphyses filiform, septate, with abundant orange intracellular pigment, with apical enlargements 5.5 to 8 µm wide, projecting significantly above the asci.

Ascospores ellipsoidal, hyaline, with warts up to 1 µm high, 17.5 to 21 µm long, 13.5 to 15.5 µm wide, ornamented with isolated warts.
