Description: Thallus leprose, soft and spongy, 0.2-0.8(-1) mm thick, pale green, bluish white to pale blue-grey, rarely bluish green, usually diffuse, without marginal lobes, or, more rarely, faintly sublobate at margin, composed of soredia-like, ecorticate granules forming a thick, powdery crust. Granules (25-)60-80(-120) μm in diam, often loosely gathered into up to 500 µm wide aggregates, loosely connected by abundant, projecting, never clam-shaped, short hyphae. Medulla thick, white, the hyphae 1.5-5 µm thick. Hypothallus composed of tightly arranged hyphae; rhizohyphae not forming a well-developed waft. Photobiont chlorococcoid, the cells spherical, up to 21 µm in diam. Spot tests: K+ dull yellow-brown, C-, KC- or KC+ yellow-browm, P+ orange, UV- or UV+ brown-red. Chemistry: atranorin and stictic acid, and variable amounts of constictic acid and zeorin.
