Description: Thallus crustose, endosubstratic, whitish to grey, often inapparent. Perithecia black, often grey-pruinose, 0.3-0.7(-1) μm across, immersed only at the base, often leaving a shallow pit in the rock, forming conical projections, the surface often rough or radially fissured, the ostiolar region flattened or forming a small depression. Involucrellum present, fused with the exciple only in the uppermost part, otherwise diverging from exciple, which is dark throughout; hymenial gel I+ red (I+ blue at very low concentrations of iodine), K/I+ blue; hymenial algae oblong, 3.3-7.5 x 2.5-3 μm, 1.3-2.5 times as long as wide; hamathecium of periphyses and periphysoids, interascal filaments absent. Asci 8-spored, clavate, the wall thickened above, with an ocular chamber, after dehiscence with a delicate extruded endotunica, I-, K/I-. Ascospores muriform, colourless or rarely pale yellowish brown at maturity, ellipsoid, (20-)25-35(-47) x 12.5-22 μm. Pycnidia black, immersed in the thallus. Conidia bacilliform. Photobiont chlorococcoid, present in both thallus and hymenium. Spot tests: K-, C-, KC-, P-, UV-. Chemistry: without lichen substances.
