Description
Melanohalea subolivacea has a thin, flattened, brown to olive-brown thallus that lacks isidia or soredia. The lobes comprising the thallus measure 1–4 mm wide, and have a smooth brown lower surface that is attached to the substrate by many rhizines. There are typically lots of fruiting bodies – the apothecia – which are flat, disc-shaped, and red-brown with thin margins.
Range & habitat
Melanohalea subolivacea is a largely North American species that usually grows on bark, although on rare instances it has been recorded growing on wood. It is common on deciduous trees, particularly in dry forests.
