Description: Thallus crustose, episubstratic, areolate to areolate-verrucose, yellowish green, turning brownish in the herbarium, often glossy, of 0.5-4 mm wide, contiguous and convex areoles developing on a black hypothallus, forming up to 10 cm wide patches, often delimited by a black prothallus. Cortex pale grey in upper part, 40-60 µm thick, with a 15-40 µm thick epinecral later; medulla white, I-. Apothecia biatorine, black, (0.5-)2-3(-4.5) mm across, with an initially flat, then irregularly convex, epruinose disc, without a distinct proper margin. Proper exciple strongly reduced; epithecium bluish green-black, sometimes in part brown, N+ violet; hymenium colourless, 40-60 µm high; paraphyses coherent, strongly swollen in water, 4-5.5 µm thick at base, the apical cells 5-8 µm wide; hypothecium colourless in upper part, pale yellow-brown in lower part. Asci 8-spored, clavate, the K/I+ blue tholus penetrated by a faintly amyloid apical cushion with parallel or diverging flanks, the wall K/I-, surrounded by a K/I+ blue outer layer, Lecanora-type. Ascospores 1-celled, hyaline, ellipsoid, 7-12(-15) x 3-4.5(-5) µm, thick-walled. Pycnidia dark brown, immersed, the wall greenish around the ostiole. Conidia hyaline, bacilliform to thread-like, 6.5-10 x 1.5-1.8 µm. Photobiont chlorococcoid. Spot tests: cortex: K+ yellow or orange-red, C+ red, KC+ red, P- or P+ yellow; medulla K-, KC+ red, P+ yellow. Chemistry: medulla with alectorialic acid (major), alectorialin, barbatolic, roccellic and protocetraric acids (all accessory).
