Description: Thallus squamulose, pale grey, dull, densely covered with a granulose, white pruina, the squamules (2-)3-6 mm wide, mostly flattened, with deep fissures in the cortex and often with a central depression; lower surface pale brown to white. Upper cortex 50-220 µm thick, including an up to 200 µm thick epinecral layer, with crystals of calcium oxalates; algal layer continuous; medulla white, usually with crystals of calcium oxalates. Apothecia lecideine, sessile, strongly constricted at base, 1-3 mm across, with a black, rarely faintly pruinose, flat, smooth disc and a distinct, smooth, concolorous proper margin. Proper exciple dark reddish brown in outer part, paler within, K+ red, N-; epithecium dark reddish brown, K+ red, N-; hymenium colourless, 60-70 µm high; paraphyses not coherent, distinctly thickened above; hypothecium pale brown to colourless. Asci 8-spored, clavate, the apical dome K/I+ dark blue with a pale, conical-pointed apical cushion (axial mass), the wall I-, but the thin outer gel I+ blue, Bacidia-type. Ascospores (1-)3-septate, hyaline, ellipsoid-cylindrical to bacilliform, 12-20 x 3-4.5 µm. Pycnidia dark, immersed, the wall K+ red. Conidia filiform. Photobiont chlorococcoid. Spot tests: thallus K-, C-, KC-, P-, UV-. Chemistry: thallus without lichen substances; apothecia and pycnidial walls with the Laurocerasi-brown pigment
