Seasonality Snapshot

Description

This species is filamentous green algae with carotenoid pigments that mask the chlorophyll with an orange color (L. Biechele, pers. comm.).

Relationships

Forms mats on live trees such as Red Maple (Acer rubrum) and is sometimes quite conspicuous after summer rains. In the southern U.S., Trentepohlia is an important phycobiont of the Christmas Lichen, Cryptothecia rubrocincta. In our area, however, it is associated with the script lichens (Graphis spp.) (L. Biechele, pers. comm.).
