Description: Thallus crustose, episubstratic, greenish grey to ash-grey, slightly uneven to usually verrucose, of indistinct, areole-like units. Cephalodia frequent, almost black, forming verrucose aggregations. Pseudocortex 6-10 µm thick, with minute crystals. Perithecia black, forming 0.4-0.8 mm wide projections, usually at least partially covered by an uneven to verrucose, pseudocorticate thalline layer. Involucrellum well developed, 80-125 μm thick, fused with exciple in upper part, reaching the base of the perithecium; exciple 20-25 μm thick, dark throughout; hamathecium of periphyses and periphysoids, interascal filaments absent; hymenial gel hemiamyloid, I+ red (I+ blue at very low concentrations of I), K/I+ blue. Asci 8-spored, clavate, K/I-, fissitunicate, the wall thickened above, with an ocular chamber, dehiscent by extrusion of an endotunica to form a delicate rostrum. Ascospores muriform, colourless or faintly brownish when overmature, ellipsoid or often slightly curved with one end slightly wider 51-65 x 22-30 μm. Photobiont chlorococcoid, Nostoc in the cephalodia. Spot tests: K-, C-, KC-, P-, UV-. Chemistry: without lichen substances.
