Description: Thallus foliose, heteromerous and dorsiventral, broad-lobed, loosely attached, forming 5-25(-30) cm wide rosettes. Lobes elongate, concave, contiguous, 1.5-3(-5) cm broad, up to 10(-15) cm long, usually obtuse to boat-shaped, with ascending, entire to crenate margins. Upper surface grey to greenish-grey when dry, bright green when wet, smooth or weakly wrinkled, with c. 1-1.3 mm wide, numerous, scattered, dark grey, warted cephalodia containing Nostoc, the marginal parts minutely erect-tomentose. Lower surface tomentose, whitish in marginal parts, dark brown to blackish in central parts, with well-distinct, reticulate, dark brown to black veins and pale to dark, separate, simple to tufted, up to 5 mm long rhizines. Upper cortex pseudoparenchymatous; medulla white, with loosely interwoven hyphae; lower cortex absent. Apothecia rare, saddle-shaped, terminal, brown, the cortex on the lower side disrupted into small green patches, 4-7(-15) mm. Paraphyses simple, distinctly thickened in upper part. Asci 8-spored, fissitunicate, the thickened apex with a K/I+ blue ring, Peltigera-type. Ascospores 3-5(-7)-septate, hyaline to pale brown at maturity, acicular, thin-walled, (45-)50-70(-80) x 4-6 μm. Photobiont chlorococcoid (Coccomyxa), cephalodia with Nostoc. Spot tests: K-, C-, KC-, P-, UV-, or medulla rarely faintly C+ and KC+ pink. Chemistry: tenuiorin, methyl gyrophorate and triterpenoids, sometimes with low amounts of gyrophoric acid in the medulla.

Growth form: Foliose, broad lobed

Substrata: soil, terricolous mosses, and plant debris

Photobiont: green algae other than Trentepohlia (primary); cyanobacteria, filamentous (e.g. Nostoc, Scytonema) (secundary, e.g. in cephalodia)

Reproductive strategy: mainly sexual
