Magn }}Acarospora socialis (bright cobblestone lichen) is a usually bright yellow aereolate to squamulose crustose lichen in the Acarosporaceae family that grows up to 10 cm wide, mostly on rock in western North America.[1] It is among the most common lichens in the deserts of Arizona and southern California.[2][3]{{rp|218–9}}[3]{{rp|218–219}} It grows on sandstone, intrusive and extrusive igneous rock such as granitics, in all kinds of exposures to sunlight, including vertical rock walls.[1] It is found in North America, including areas of the Mojave Desert and Sonoran Desert region, to Baja California Sur.[1] It is the most common yellow member of its genus in southwestern North America.[1] It sometimes, but rarely, grows on other soil crusts.[1] It is a pioneer species.[1] It is variable in its growth pattern.[1] Areoles can be angular to round, sometimes forming lobes. They can be contiguous or scattered.[1] Color is variable - bleached white, green-yellow, and other hades of yellow.[1] It has a lower surface when squamulose, but without a lower cortex.[1] With age, it forms stipes.[1] Each squamule has 0{{citation needed|date=November 2014}} or one 1 mm round to angular apothecia immersed in it, outside desert habitats, but may have 2 to 10 per in deserts.[1] Two apothecia may merged leaving a peninsula (umbo) of thalline tissue through the disc.[1] Apothecia may have lecanorine margins.[1] Apothecia have a flat to concave mostly brown or reddish brown, concave disc.[1] Lichen spot tests are all negative.[1] It is UV+ orange.[1] Secondary metabolites include rhizocarpic acid, and sometimes trace amounts of epanorin.[1]When young, it is very similar to Accarospora contigua.[1] But A. socialis has areolas that become lobed and squamulose.[1] When appearing on soil, it may be mistaken for Acarospora schleicheri.[1] But A. socialis has contiguous areoles while those of A. schlecheri can be imbricate.[1] It is also similar to Acarospora chrysops, which grows from South America to central Mexico, through Texas and into the Rocky Mountains.[1] It is very similar to Pleopsidium flavum at mid-level mountains, with the latter favoring higher elevations, above {{convert|900|m|ft}}, and being somewhat effigurate with smaller (less than 1 mm) yellow apothecia.[1] References1. ^1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 Lichen Flora of the Greater Sonoran Desert Region, Vol 3, (2001), Nash, T.H., Ryan, B.D., Gries, C., Bugartz, F., (eds.) {{Taxonbar|from=Q10398815}}2. ^Joshua Tree Lichens Photo Gallery, National Park Service 3. ^1 Field Guide to California Lichens, Stephen Sharnoff, Yale University Press, 2014, {{ISBN|978-0-300-19500-2}} 1 : Acarospora |
