Description: Thallus crustose, episubstratic, areolate, grey or grey-brown, grey-green in some forms, dull, forming regular, usually well-delimited, 1-8(-20) cm wide patches, the areoles usually angular or irregular, flat to weakly convex, 0.3-1.5 mm wide, contiguous and separated by cracks. Medulla white, I-. Apothecia aspicilioid, 0.2-0.5(-0.8) mm across, 1(-3) per areole, round, rarely angular, with a black, but usually white-pruinose, concave to flat disc and a distinctly raised, often white-pruinose thalline margin. Proper exciple poorly developed, colourless, extending below the hymenium; epithecium olive green to olive-brown, with crystals, N+ green, K+ yellow-brown; hymenium colourless, I+ blue or sometimes partly turning yellow-green; paraphyses sparingly branched and anastomosing, 1.5-2.5 µm thick at mid-level, submoniliform in upper part, the uppermost cells subglobose, (3-)4-6 µm wide; subhymenium and hypothecium colourless. Asci (2-)4(-6)-spored, clavate, the thin outer coat K/I+ blue, the wall and apical dome K/I-. Ascospores 1-celled, hyaline, globose to subglobose, (16-)18-28(-35) x (14-)17-26(-30) µm. Pycnidia rare, immersed, with a black, punctiform ostiole. Conidia filiform, straight or slightly curved, (5-)6-10(-11) x 0.8-1(-1.3) µm. Photobiont chlorococcoid. Spot tests: cortex and medulla K-, C-, KC-, P-. Chemistry: usually with aspicilin, rarely lacking secondary metabolites.
