Description: Thallus crustose, episubstratic or almost endosubstratic, most often verrucose, intensely greenish yellow. Cortex 11-30 µm thick, of hyaline, gelatinized hyphae, densely inspersed with small yellow crystals in lower part. Apothecia glossy black, epruinose, 0.4-0.7 mm across, sessile and constricted at base, with a well-developed, black proper margin which is usually somewhat inflexed over the black mazaedium. Exciple 45-95 µm wide laterally, of dark brown, sclerotized, irregularly interwoven hyphae, strongly thickened and 120-160(300) µm wide at base, extending deep down into the thallus; hypothecium dark, indistinctly delimited. Asci 8-spored, cylindrical to narrowly clavate, persisting until the spores are nearly mature, with 1- to 2-seriate spores. Ascospores 1-septate and slightly constricted at septum, dark brown, ellipsoid, 13-16 x 7-9 µm, the wall smooth in young spores, then with a few irregular and rather shallow fissures. Photobiont chlorococcoid. Spot tests: thallus K-, C-, KC-, P-. Chemistry: thallus with rhizocarpic acid.
