Description: Thallus crustose, very thin, continuous, poorly evident, finally often disappearing. Apothecia 0.4-0.7 mm across, 0.15-0.25 mm high, urceolate, at first immersed and perithecioid, with the exciple hiding the disc except for a minute, to 0.5 mm wide pore, later erumpent and with an exposed, pinkish to pale grey-brown disc surrounded by a thick, inrolled proper margin. Proper exciple well developed laterally, the outer part of small, thin-walled, angular cells, the inner part with rectangular cells ending in periphysoids; hymenium colourless, 90-120 µm high, I+ blue at least in upper part; paraphyses slender, simple, slightly swollen at apex; hypothecium colourless. Asci 8-spored, cylindrical-clavate, with a single, thin, K/I- wall layer, and an amyloid exoascus with a ring structure. Ascospores 8-14-septate, hyaline, needle-like to cylindrical, 45-75 x 3-4(-5) µm. Photobiont trentepohlioid. Spot tests: thallus K-, C-, KC-, P-, UV-. Chemistry: without lichen substances.
