Description: Thallus foliose-umbilicate, monophyllous, usually large to very large, 3-10(-20) cm diam., dull brown but often coarsely white-pruinose when dry, green-brown when wet, attached by a stout, central holdfast. Upper surface with numerous conspicuous, convex, round to oval pustules, the margins becoming more or less eroded. Isidia coralloid, dark, arranged in clusters, especially around cracks of the upper cortex. Lower surface grey to brown-black, reticulate, with broad depressions corresponding to the pustules, erhizinate. Apothecia very rare, 1-3 mm across, with a black, flat, smooth disc and a persistent, smooth or partially isidiate true exciple. Asci 1(-2)-spored, elongate-clavate, thick-walled, with a K/I+ blue apical dome. Ascospores muriform, fist hyaline, then brown, 28-70 x 18-34 μm. Pycnidia black, immersed. Conidia bacilliform, 2.5-3 x c. 1 μm. Photobiont chlorococcoid. Spot tests: thallus K-, C-, KC-, P-; medulla K-, C+ red, KC+ red, P-, UV-. Chemistry: medulla with gyrophoric acid. Note: a temperate to boreal-montane, circumpolar species found on periodically wetted, but rapidly drying surfaces of basic siliceous rocks, usually in seepage tracks, with a wide altitudinal range, but usually absent above treeline. The species is widespread both in the Alps and in the mountains of Mediterranean Italy.
