Description: Thallus crustose, non- or doubtfully lichenized, mostly endosubstratic, appearing as a pale grey to white, continuous, poorly delimited patch. Perithecia dark brown to black, matt, scattered, orbicular and 0.1-0.25 µm across or rarely ellipsoid, flattened, with a central ostiole. Involucrellum brown to greenish brown, dimidiate, sometimes extending beyond the perithecium into a thin fringe, consisting of bark cells mixed with greenish-black, thick-walled, isodiametrical cells with large lumina; exciple colourless to pale brown, c. 10 µm thick, of thin-walled, flattened cells; pseudoparaphyses sparse, 1.5-2 µm thick. Asci (6-)8-spored, clavate, bi- and fissitunicate, with a rounded to truncate apex. Ascospores 1-3-septate, hyaline, falcate or sigmoid, with more or less rounded ends, (15-)25-32(-35) x 2-3.7 µm, without epispore. Pycnidia black, subglobose, scattered, at first immersed, then projecting. Conidia 1-celled, narrowly fusiform, curved, (11.5-)16.5-18 x 1.5-2.5 µm. Photobiont absent or thallus loosely associated with trentepohlioid algae. Spot tests: K-, C-, KC-, P-, UV-. Chemistry: without lichen substances.
