Description: Thallus crustose, usually poorly developed and indistinct, sometimes granular or minutely papillate, dull olive-green to greenish grey, forming small patches to 3 cm in diam. Apothecia usually abundant, biatorine, (0.1-)0.3-0.6 mm wide, but often forming larger aggregates, with a yellow, at first flat but soon convex, sometimes thinly pruinose disc, and a very thin, usually not visible margin. Epithecium yellow, densely granular, 8.5-15 μm high, the granules dissolving in K; hymenium colourless to very pale straw-yellow in K, inspersed with oil droplets, (50-)65-85 μm high; paraphyses simple, septate, the apices not markedly swollen; hypothecium colourless, 130-150 μm high. Asci 8-spored, clavate, with an apical dome which is I+ blue only in the internal, lower part, interrupted in the centre by an I+ paler blue strip, Candelaria-type. Ascospores 1-celled to thinly 1-septate, hyaline, narrowly ellipsoid to ovoid, (9-)12-18(-21) x 4-6 µm. Photobiont chlorococcoid. Spot tests: thallus and apothecia K-, KC-, C-, P-. Chemistry: apothecia with calycin and pulvinic acid-dilactone; thallus without pulvinic acid derivatives.
Note: a mild-temperate, perhaps holarctic lichen found on isolated trees with base-rich bark, especially Fraxinus, Populus and Juglans, often near the base of the trunks, probably declining. It is included in the Italian red list of epiphytic lichens as “Near-threatened” (Nascimbene & al. 2013c).
