Proper exciple blackish, up to 75 µm thick laterally, pseudoparenchymatous; epithecium poorly differentiated, colourless to brownish; hymenium colourless, (90-)100-125(-140) µm high, non-amyloid; paraphyses simple, 1-2 µm thick, the apical cells not swollen; hypothecium dark brown, 10-15 µm high. Asci (4-)8-spored, narrowly clavate to subcylindrical, the wall evenly thickened when mature, the somewhat abrupt apical thickening with a thin, internal apical beak, lacking any apical apparatus, the contents I+ orange-red, the walls I-, not fissitunicate. Ascospores muriform, 5-7 transverse and 2-3 longitudinal septa, at first hyaline then turning brown, broadly ellipsoid, (20-)25-35(-40) x 10-18(-21) µm. Pycnidia immersed, crateriform. Conidia bacilliform, 4-6 x 1 µm. Photobiont chlorococcoid. Spot tests: thallus K-, K+ yellow, or K+ yellow turning violet red-brown, C+ red, P-, UV-.
