Thanks for your comment, Jason. I am brand new to lichens, so I appreciate the opportunity to learn more. I’m not sure I could differentiate between the two!
The corticate granules inside the cups are right at the edge between C. chlorophaea and C. pyxidata. These ambiguous cases are very frustrating to me. I think true C. pyxidata would have large, clearly flattened, areoles inside the cups. And I think true C. chlorophaea should have at least some tiny granules verging on soredia, at least on the outside of the cups. True C. pyxidata shouldn’t have any tiny granules(?)
This is a difficult group for everyone, even the professionals.
