Description: Thallus squamulose, heteromerous, 0.2-0.4 mm thick, brown to dark brown with a bluish tinge, forming continuous, several cm wide, thick crusts, usually without hypothallus. Squamules 2(-3) mm long, up to c. 1.5 mm broad, round to weakly elongate, incised, flattened, contiguous or mostly imbricate, the margins white-felted due to accumulation of terpenoid crystals, with erect, finger-like lobules looking like isidia, the apex of the lobes and also the lobules often breaking off, revealing the photobiont layer. Upper cortex sclerenchymatous, (20-)30-50 µm thick; lower surface ecorticate, felted. Apothecia rare, cryptolecanorine, to 1.5 mm across, with a brown, usually convex disc, a dark proper margin, and an often excluded, granulose thalline margin. Proper exciple subparaplectenchymatous, 60-80 µm wide; epithecium pale brown; hymenium colourless, 100-120 µm high, hemiamyloid, I+ blue-green rapidly turning red-brown; paraphyses simple, the apical cells slightly swollen; hypothecium colourless. Asci 8-spored, subcylindrical to clavate, with a I+ blue tholus and an internal, more intensely I+ blue apical plug. Ascospores 1-celled, hyaline, ovoid to broadly ellipsoid, often with a single, large oil droplet, 18-22 x 9-11 µm, with a thick, smooth epispore. Photobiont cyanobacterial (Nostoc, the cells in clusters). Pycnidia wart-like. Conidia bacilliform. Spot tests: Thallus K-, C-, KC-, P-, UV-. Chemistry: unidentified aliphatic acids and triterpenoids.
