Description: Thallus subfruticose, subgelatinous when wet, glossy brown, loosely attached, of subterete, 0.3-1 mm broad, up to 5(-7) mm long, subcylindrical, ascending to erect, heavily wrinkled branches, sometimes with a few dichotomous ramifications in upper part, often forming small tufts, sometimes with a few globular isidia. Branches originating from small squamules, which are evident only in very young specimens. Cortex formed by regular layers of angular cells, the internal thallus parts not paraplectenchymatous. Apothecia rare, lecanorine, subterminal, strongly constricted at base, up to 1.5 mm across, with a reddish brown, concave to flat, smooth disc and a thin, but distinct, often granulose or minutely lobulate thalline margin. Proper exciple paraplectenchymatous: epithecium brownish; hymenium and hypothecium colourless; paraphyses coherent, mostly simple, the apical cells slightly swollen. Asci 8-spored, narrowly clavate, the apex strongly thickened, the apical dome K/I+ pale blue, with a downwardly projecting K/I+ deep blue tubular structure. Ascospores 3-septate to usually submuriform, hyaline, ellipsoid and pointed at both ends (20-)23-27(-33) x (8-)10-12(-14) μm. Pycnidia immersed. Conidia bacilliform. Photobiont cyanobacterial (Nostoc, the cells in short chains). Spot test: all negative. Chemistry: without lichen substances.
Note: on calciferous rocks and soil, often on other lichens (e.g. Romjularia lurida), sometimes on terricolous mosses, below the Alpine belt.
Growth form: Fruticose

Substrata: rocks, soil, terricolous mosses, and plant debris
