Synonyms: Phaeophyscia opuntiella (Buschardt & Poelt) Hafellner
Description: Thallus squamulose, grey to brownish- or greenish-grey, loosely attached, the squamules 0.1-0.3(-0.4) mm broad, bullate to slightly flattened, entire to crenate, dispersed or grouped, often articulate in the form of a Opuntia, densely covered in thin transparent hairs, sometimes blastidiate. Thallus paraplectenchymatous throughout, with a brown pseudocortex, overlain by an epinecral layer of isodiametric, 6-10.5 μm wide, conspicuously papillate cells. Perithecia very rare, black, pyriform, without involucrellum, located between the squamules, 0.3-0.4 mm across (in section), with a rugose surface. Exciple distinctly 3-layered, with an outer layer of rounded, heavily pigmented cells, a median layer of similar, but unpigmented cells, and an inner layer of elongated, colourless cells; hamathecium of periphyses and periphysoids, interascal filaments absent; hymenial gel hemiamyloid. Asci (1-)2-spored, clavate, thin-walled, fissitunicate with a very thin exoascus, surrounded by a hemiamyloid gel. Ascospores muriform, at first hyaline, finally sometimes turning pale brown, ellipsoid, 60-70 x 25-28 μm. Photobiont chlorococcoid. Spot tests: K-, C-, KC-, P-, UV-. Chemistry: without lichen substances.
