Description: Primary thallus ephemeral and rarely seen, of small, crenate to incised, up to 1.5 mm broad and long squamules. Podetia hollow inside, yellowish green to yellowish grey, non-squamulose, to 12(-15) cm tall and up to 1.5(-3) mm thick, not melanotic at base, more or less anisotomic dichotomously branched, often forming large tufts, the tips of branchlets often brownish, pointed or terminating in narrow cups which flare rapidly, the cups perforate or closed, often with thorn-like brownish lateral projections. Axils mostly closed, more rarely slightly perforated; internal surface of podetia striated. Apothecia rare, brown to yellowish brown, convex. Asci 8-spored, clavate, thickened at apex, with a K/I+ blue tholus and a K/I+ strongly blue outer gelatinous sheath, Cladonia-type. Ascospores 1-celled, hyaline, ellipsoid. Pycnidia dark, semi-immersed in the tips of podetia or along the margins of cups; pycnidial jelly colourless. Conidia hyaline, curved, rarely cylindrical. Photobiont chlorococcoid. Spot tests: K-, C-, KC+ yellowish, P-, UV-. Chemistry: usnic, barbatic and 4-0-demethylbarbatic acids.
