Description: Thallus small-foliose to subsquamulose, gelatinous when wet, dark brownish or greenish black, loosely attached, forming up to 5(-8) cm wide cushions. Lobes flattened, often ascending, 3-5 mm wide, 0.15-0.3 mm thick, smooth, with rounded ends and undulate to crenulate, often ascending margins bearing abundant, thin, transparent hairs, sometimes with granular isidia. Lower surface with sparse white, fasciculate hapters. Upper and lower cortex only partly developed, paraplectenchymatous, formed by 1-3 layers of cells, inner part often with a cellular pattern. Apothecia rare, adnate, 0.3-0.7(-1.5) mm across, with a brown, smooth, concave to flat disc and a paler, hairy proper margin. Proper exciple paraplectenchymatous, colourless to pale brown, 20-30 μm wide; epithecium brownish; hymenium colourless, 60-90 μm high; paraphyses branched, septate, swollen at apices; hypothecium colourless. Asci 8-spored, clavate, fissitunicate, the thickened apex with a K/I+ blue ring. Ascospores 1-septate, hyaline, narrowly ellipsoid, (15-)18-22(-26) x (5-)6-7(-9) μm. Pycnidia very rare, semi-immersed. Conidia bacilliform, 9-16 x c. 1 μm. Photobiont cyanobacterial, filamentous, the individual cells 4-6 µm wide. Spot tests: all negative. Chemistry: without lichen substances.
