Slo.: ? - syn.: Diploschistes bryophilus f. parasitica (Sommerf.) Servt, Diploschistes lichenicola (Mont. & Fr.) Vain., Diploschistes scruposus f. bryophilus (Ehrh.) Oxner, Urceolaria scruposa f. parasitica (Sommerf.) Arnold - Habitat: Slightly inclined mountain slope, south aspect; a patch of stony grassland surrounded by trees and bushes (former pastures), Ostrya carpinifolia and Corylus avellana dominant; calcareous, skeletal, colluvial ground; full sun, relatively warm, dry and open place; exposed to direct rain; average precipitations ~ 3.000 mm/year, average temperature 7-9 deg C, elevations 615 m (2.020 feet), alpine phytogeographical region. Substratum: on thallus and podetia of Cladonia cf. pocillum, soil and mosses. Comment: Diploschistes muscorum is an interesting, cosmopolitan lichen living on ground. When young it parasitizes other lichens of Cladonia pyxidata group (Wirth 1995), especially Cladonia rangiformis and Cladonia pocillum (Dobson 2005). In this observation the host seems to be Cladonia pocillum. It gradually incorporates the algae of the host in its own thallus (Brodo 2001) and thus kill it. When mature it becomes free-living on mosses and ground without help of parasitism. It can grow to considerable sizes. This observation shows small, young specimens, max a few cm in diameter. Picture 3 shows a young specimen just becoming fertile, where lowest, outer squamules of the host are still alive and green. Picture 5c shows a podetium of the host thinly overgrown with Diploschistes muscorum thallus. Picture 2 shows an older specimen where no parts of the host can be seen directly, however, the shape of the thallus still resembles to some extent original shape of the Cladonia squamules. Later there is no more resemblance on Cladonia. Growing scattered. Several specimens found in the vicinity. Chemical reaction on thallus K-. Photographed in damp conditions.Ref.:(1) V.
