Description: Thallus crustose, endosubstratic to thinly episubstratic and then of contiguous to dispersed granules or areoles, grey to whitish, without a distinct prothallus. Medulla white, I-. Apothecia lecideine, black, 0,5-1.5(-3) mm across, rounded or angular by mutual compression, sometimes aggregated into larger units, constricted at base, with a flat to finally irregularly convex, epruinose disc, and a usually sinuous, finally sometimes excluded proper margin. Proper exciple of radially arranged hyphae, the outer rim thick, blackish green or blackish brown, the inner part golden brown and K+ strongly magenta (solution), C+ brown-red; epithecium bright green, green-black to green-brown in older apothecia, K-, N+ purple; hymenium very pale blue-green, 30-60(-75) µm high, I+ blue; paraphyses strongly coherent, simple or sparingly branched in upper part, the apical cell to 5 µm wide; hypothecium colourless to pale brown, with granules reacting K+ magenta. Asci 8-spored, clavate, with a K/I+ blue apical dome penetrated by a narrow, K/I- apical cushion surrounded by a narrow, deeply K/I+ blue zone, the wall K/I- but surrounded by an I+ red-brown, K/I+ blue outer layer, the ocular chamber relatively small, Biatora-type. Ascospores 1-celled, hyaline, narrowly ellipsoid, (6-)7-10(-13) x 3-4.5(-5.5) µm. Pycnidia dark, immersed. Conidia bacilliform. Photobiont chlorococcoid. Spot tests: thallus K-, C-, KC- or KC+ pink, P-, UV-. Chemistry: thallus with an unidentified compound or without lichen substances; apothecia with 7-chloroemodin.
