Description: Thallus crustose, endo- to episubstratic, continuous or warted-areolate, pale grey, yellowish green to ochre or greyish beige, the areoles rounded or irregularly incised, 0.1-0.2 mm wide, slightly to strongly convex, ecorticate. Apothecia lecanorine, usually crowded, round, sessile and constricted at base, 0.2-0.35. mm across, with a beige, ochre, to dark grey/brown, rarely finely white- or bluish-pruinose, flat to convex disc, and a weakly prominent to level, smooth to crenulate, persistent to often finally excluded thalline margin. Thalline exciple of short-celled hyphae, 50-85 µm wide laterally, 20-35 µm wide at base, corticate, with golden-brown granules in the algal layer and in the outer edges of the cortex, the cortex (12-)18-26(-29) µm wide laterally, (18-)23-43(-48) µm wide at base; proper exciple inapparent; epithecium colourless or spotted greyish brown, covered by an epipsamma of golden-brown granules soluble in K, 5-15(-20) µm high, N+ at least partially reddish violet; hymenium colourless, (37-)43-62(-68) µm high; paraphyses simple or sparingly branched and anastomosing, 1-2.5 µm thick, the apical cells to 3.5 µm wide; hypothecium colourless or pale yellow-brown, (60-)72-103(-130) µm high. Asci 8-spored, clavate, very thin-walled, with a K/I+ blue, tall tholus penetrated by a faintly amyloid apical cushion, the wall K/I-, surrounded by a blue outer layer, Lecanora-type. Ascospores 1-celled (some of them sometimes 1-septate), hyaline, narrowly ellipsoid, (6.8-)8.6-11(-15.3) x (3.4-)3.7-4.5(-7) µm. Pycnidia semi-immersed, brown to colourless in upper part. Conidia of four types: a) 1(-3)-septate and slightly curved macroconidia (not rare) measuring 7-12 x 1.5-2 µm; b) 1-celled and curved, microconidia (not rare) measuring 8-10 x 1-2 µm; c) 1-celled and straight-bacilliform mesoconidia (rare) measuring 3-4 x 1-2 µm, d) 1-celled, thread-like, curved leptoconidia measuring 10-15 x c. 1 µm. Photobiont chlorococcoid. Spot tests: thallus K- or K+ faintly yellow, C-, KC- or KC+ faintly yellow, P-, UV-. Chemistry: thallus with isousnic acid (major) and variable amounts of pseudoplacodiolic acid; epithecium with a mixture of the Cinereorufa-green and an unknown yellow-brown pigment.
