Ric. Auton. Lich. Crost.: 133, 1852. Basionym: Lichen dryinus Ach. - Lichenogr. Suec. Prodr.: 16, 1799.
Synonyms: Arthonia dryina (Ach.) Jatta; Lecanactis dryina (Ach.) Vain.; Lecanactis dryophila Lettau; Lecidea dryina (Ach.) Ach.; Lecidea dryina var. lilacina Ach.
Description: Thallus crustose, continuous to slightly cracked, thin, mostly episubstratic, white to grey-white. Apothecia lecideine, black, adnate to sessile, round to often irregular in outline (often oval or sublobulate) 0.2-0.7 mm across, with a black, at first flat then convex, uneven, epruinose disc and a thin, finally excluded proper margin. Proper exciple laterally well-developed, dark red-brown, usually closed below the hymenium, I+ reddish, K/I+ deep blue, K+ blackish olive; epithecium dark brown, composed of irregularly shaped, agglutinate, strongly branched and anastomosing paraphysoid tips; hymenium colourless, 75-110 µm high, I+ pale red or blue in the inner part, K/I+ pale blue; paraphysoids richly anastomosing, not thickened at apex, richly branched at apex to form a reticulate epithecium; subhymenium pale to dark brown, up to c. 150 µm high; hypothecium dark red-brown. Asci 8-spored, narrowly clavate to cylindrical, with a distinct stipe and foot-like base, easily separated from the ascogenous hyphae and often broken, bitunicate-fissitunicate, with a narrow, K/I+ pale blue apex, with an apical dome penetrated by a small ocular chamber surrounded at the base by a small K/I+ dark blue ring-like zone, the exoascus thin and refringent, the endoascus slightly hemiamyloid, 70-100 x 11-13 µm. Ascospores transversely multi-septate, hyaline, at first filiform and 70-77 x (1-)2-3 µm, but later fragmenting into individual, rectangular to cuboid part-spores which measure (2-)3-8 x 2-3 µm. Pycnidia immersed or semi-immersed, punctiform, globose or subglobose, the wall brown at apex, colourless to pale brown basally. Conidia straight, 3-5 x 1-1.5 µm. Photobiont trentepohlioid. Spot tests: K-, C-, KC-, P-. Chemistry: without lichen substances.
