Description
Vulpicida pinastri usually has few, broad, irregular lobes whose edges are lined with yellow Bortensoralen. On the underside, the lichen is pale yellowish with few rhizins. Fruit bodies (Apotheciens) are very rarely trained and then have a brown disc with bearing edge. The unicellular spores are ellipsoidal to almost spherical. The yellow color is caused by the highly toxic vulpinic acid in the marrow, which probably serves as a feeding protection against snails.
