K. Vetensk.-Akad. Handl.: 262, 1816.
Synonyms: Calicium amylocaule Lettau; Calicium atroviride Körb.; Calicium cladoniscum auct.; Calicium lenticulare var. cladoniscum auct. non Schaer.; Calicium quercinum var. lenticulare (Ach.) Nyl.; Calicium schaereri sensu Nádv. non De Not.; Calicium subquercinum Asahina; Calicium virescens (Schaer.) Hepp
Description: Thallus crustose, endosubstratic and poorly evident or more often episubstratic and granular-verrucose, greenish to yellowish grey, sometimes with a bluish tinge. Apothecia long-stalked, pin-like, most often with a whitish pruina on the lower side of capitulum, more rarely epruinose. Stalk black to dark reddish brown, 0.5-1.3 mm high, 0.08-0.22 mm thick, of sclerotized, dark, irregularly interwoven hyphae, in section distinctly reddish brown, sometimes with strands of granular crystals, the outer layer covered with a very thin, transparent, non-amyloid gelatinous sheath. Capitulum narrowly obconical to lenticular, 0.2-0.55 mm across, with a well-developed, cup-shaped exciple of intertwined, sclerotized hyphae; mazaedium well developed, black; hypothecium blackish brown, with a convex upper surface. Asci narrowly clavate to cylindrical, formed singly, dissolving early, with partly 2-seriate ascospores. Ascospores at first simple, then (when released from asci) 1-septate, dark brown, broadly ellipsoid to ellipsoid, (9-)11-12 x (4-)6-7 µm, with a thick, minutely verrucose to areolate wall. Photobiont chlorococcoid. Spot tests: thallus K-, C-, KC-, P-; ascomata I+ deep blue to blue-black in all parts. Chemistry: thallus without lichen substances or with placodiolic and sometimes 4-O-methylhypoprotocetraric acids.
