Podetia yellowish-green in upper part, greyish-green below, often with a necrotic, blue-black base, bacilliform, 2-5(-8 cm) tall, 0.5-2 mm thick, usually cupless or rarely with narrow cups, non squamulose, thin and elongate, simple or sparingly branched above, covered with farinose soredia tending to fall off easily, leaving wide naked areas. Apothecia infrequent at the tip of the podetia, very pale ochraceous 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.

Spot tests: K-, C-, KC+ yellow, P-, UV- or UV+ faintly white. Chemistry: usnic, barbatic and 4-0-demethylbarbatic acids, and occasionally zeorin.
