Synonyms: Lecanora pityrea Erichsen; Straminella conizaeoides (Nyl. ex Cromb.) S.Y. Kondr., Lőkös & Farkas
Description: Thallus crustose, episubstratic, more or less continuous to cracked, thin to thick, greenish to grey-green, entirely or partially sorediate, the soredia coarsely granular. Apothecia lecanorine, 0.4-1(-1.5) mm across, sessile, slightly constricted at base, with a pale green-grey, grey-brown or pinkish brown, concave to slightly convex disc, and a thin, persistent, crenulate, partially sorediate thalline margin. Thalline exciple corticate (ecorticate in sorediate parts), 60-100 μm wide laterally; epithecium colourless to pale yellow-brown, with granules dissolving in K; hymenium colourless, 45-75(-90) μm high; paraphyses branched and anastomosing, 1.5-2.5 μm thick at mid-level, the apical cells to 3 μm wide; hypothecium colourless, 45-55 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, hyaline, broadly ellipsoid to ovoid, (7-)9-14(-16) x 4-7(-8) μm, thick-walled. Conidia thread-like, often curved, 12-22 μm long. Photobiont chlorococcoid. Spot tests: K- or K+ faintly yellow turning dirty red, C-, KC-, P+ yellow turning rust-red, UV+ dull orange. Chemistry: variable amounts of usnic and fumarprotocetraric acids.
