Acarospora socialis
''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.〔Lichen Flora of the Greater Sonoran Desert Region, Vol 3, (2001), Nash, T.H., Ryan, B.D., Gries, C., Bugartz, F., (eds.) ()〕 It is among the most common lichens in the deserts of Arizona and southern California.〔Joshua Tree Lichens Photo Gallery, National Park Service, ()〕〔Field Guide to California Lichens, Stephen Sharnoff, Yale University Press, 2014, ISBN 978-0-300-19500-2〕〔Field Guide to California Lichens, Stephen Sharnoff, Yale University Press, 2014, ISBN 978-0-300-19500-2〕 It grows on sandstone, intrusive and extrusive igneous rock such as granitics, in all kinds of exposures to sunlight, including vertical rock walls.〔 It is found in North America and Mexico, including areas of the Mojave Desert and Sonoran Desert region, to Baja California Sur.〔 It is the most common yellow member of its genus in southwestern North America.〔 It sometimes, but rarely, grows on other soil crusts.〔 It is a pioneer species.〔
It is variable in its growth pattern.〔 Areoles can be angular to round, sometimes forming lobes. They can be contiguous or scattered.〔 Color is variable - bleached white, green-yellow, and other hades of yellow.〔 It has a lower surface when squamulose, but without a lower cortex.〔 With age, it forms stipes.〔 Each squamule has 0 or one 1 mm round to angular apothecia immersed in it, outside desert habitats, but may have 2 to 10 per in deserts.〔 Two apothecia may merged leaving a peninsula (umbo) of thalline tissue through the disc.〔 Apothecia may have lecanorine margins.〔 Apothecia have a flat to concave mostly brown or reddish brown, concave disc.〔
Lichen spot tests are all negative.〔 It is UV+ orange.〔 Secondary metabolites include rhizocarpic acid, and sometimes trace amounts of epanorin.〔
When young, it is very similar to Accarospora contigua.〔 But A. socialis has areolas that become lobed and squamulose.〔 When appearing on soil, it may be mistaken for Acarospora schleicheri.〔 But A. socialis has contiguous areoles while those of A. schlecheri can be imbricate.〔 It is also similar to Acarospora chrysops, which grows from South America to central Mexico, through Texas and into the Rocky Mountains.〔 It is very similar to Pleopsidium flavum at mid-level mountains, with the latter favoring higher elevations, above , and being somewhat effigurate with smaller (less than 1 mm) yellow apothecia.〔
