Diploschistes muscorum morph daisy-like apothecia.

Description

  This very rare morph which seems to be a "free" form having finished its parasitism of a Cladonia, differs from the type of Diploschistes muscorum by its apothecia often deformed and grouped in "daisy flower" or "orange slice". Typically on soils with Cladonia sp. in the supralittoral zone exposed to seawater splashes and spray.

 

N.B. Often with Diploschistes scruposus morph daisy-like apothecia whose habitat it shares.
