Description: Primary thallus squamulose, usually persistent and forming mats, the squamules very variable in size, 3-6 mm long, 2-5 mm wide, wedge-shaped or lobed, with indented margins, often ascending, upper surface grey-green to brownish in sun-forms, lower surface whitish, finely arachnoid. Podetia frequent, hollow inside, greenish grey to brown in sun-forms, 2-6(-8) cm tall, 0.5-3(-4) mm thick, flaring quickly into short, broad cups (up to 9 mm diam.), which tend to proliferate from the centre, often giving rise to up to 7 tiers of superimposed cups. Cortex more or less continuous to areolate, clearly maculate, the areoles smooth, subcontiguous. Apothecia infrequent, brown, convex, small. 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.
