Description: Thallus crustose, episubstratic, grey, grey-green or brown-green, usually consisting of scattered, globose or flattened, 40-100 μm wide granules which often form coralloid, isidia-like outgrowths. Apothecia lecideine, (0.3-)0.4-1(-1.2) mm across, with a purple-brown to black, rarely pink-brown, epruinose, flat to finally convex, sometimes tuberculate disc, and a distinct, paler or darker, finally often excluded proper margin. Proper exciple 59-122 μm wide laterally, without crystals, the inner part red-brown or black-brown, K+ purplish, N+ orange-red, often with a green or blue-green tinge at least in upper part, with a single layer of enlarged cells (up to 8 x 5 μm), the outer rim colourless to pale brown; epithecium greenish to brownish green, scarcely differentiated from the hymenium, K- or K+ purple, N+ purple or orange-red (with or without precipitation of blue crystals); hymenium (45-)55-80(-112) μm high, the lower part colourless except for occasional vertical green streaks, the upper part dirty green to blue-green; paraphyses simple, 1.2-2.4 μm thick at mid-level, the apical cells not swollen or up to 5(-6.5) μm wide; hypothecium dark brown at least in upper part, sometimes with a green-brown tinge, well-separated from the lower part of exciple. Asci 8-spored, clavate, surrounded by a gelatinous I+ blue coat, with a well-developed I+ blue tholus, an I+ darker blue tube and a well-developed ocular chamber, Bacidia-type. Ascospores (3-)5-13-septate, hyaline, bacilliform, clavate or acicular, straight to sigmoid, (13-)20-36(-40) x 2.5-3.5(-4) μm. Pycnidia immersed in thallus. Conidia simple, filiform, curved, 10-20 x c. 0.8 μm. Photobiont chlorococcoid, the cells 5-12 μm in diam. Spot tests: thallus and apothecia K-, C-, KC-, P-, UV-. Chemistry: no lichen substances in thallus; apothecia with Bagliettoana-green in epithecium and rim of exciple; Laurocerasi-brown in hypothecium and lateral part of exciple; sometimes a mixture of the two pigments in exciple. Rubella-orange in epithecium, hypothecium and exciple (in albino morphs).
