Description: Primary thallus squamulose, the squamules usually ephemeral, 3-4(-8) mm long, 1-4 mm broad, crenate to irregularly lobed, ascending, glaucescent to olive-green above, whitish below. Podetia bacilliform, hollow inside, 4-10(-17) cm tall, up to 2(-3) mm thick, mostly unbranched and with pointed apices, rarely with a few branches or with small terminal cups, greenish brown to dark brown, melanotic at base, corticate for at least half of their length (the cortex smooth, finely areolate), patchily farinose-sorediate in upper part, esquamulose. Apothecia rare, brown, convex, terminal. 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 rare, dark, semi-immersed, usually along the margins of cups, with a colourless jelly. Conidia hyaline, curved. Photobiont chlorococcoid. Spot tests: K- or K+ yellowish slowly turning brown, C-, KC-, P+ red, UV-. Chemistry: fumarprotocetraric acid complex.
