Description: Primary thallus squamulose, the squamules persistent or usually disappearing, small and often inconspicuous, 1-3(-4) mm long and wide, rounded at apices, yellowish-greyish-green above, white to yellowish beneath, darkening towards the base. Podetia hollow inside, yellowish-greyish-green, not melanotic at base, usually esquamulose or with a few squamules the base, 0.5-3(-5) cm tall, entirely farinose-sorediate (soredia 20-40 μm in diam.), with regular, up to 7 mm wide cups abruptly tapering to a 0.2-2 mm thick stalk, the margins of cups often toothed, sometimes proliferating. Apothecia not very frequent, located on the margins of cups, waxy yellow to very pale brown, convex and stipitate. 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 frequent on the marginal teeth of cups, pale brown, with a colourless jelly. Conidia hyaline, curved. Photobiont chlorococcoid. Spot tests: K-, C-, KC+ yellowish, P-, UV-. Chemistry: usnic acid, zeorin (the latter visible as a layer of crystals on the surface, especially in herbarium specimens), rarely with additional barbatic acid.
