Description: Thallus crustose, episubstratic, rather thick, areolate to verrucose-areolate, whitish, grey, or rarely pale brown, often delimited by a dark prothalline line. Medulla white, I-. Apothecia lecideine, black, epruinose or slightly pruinose, 0.3-1(-1.5) mm across, initially immersed, then more or less sessile, with a black, flat to convex disc, a thick proper margin, and a pseudothalline margin which is more evident in young apothecia. Proper exciple up to 75 µm wide laterally, brown in outer part, colourless to pale brown in inner part, of radiating hyphae, extending below the hypothecium; epithecium brown; hymenium colourless, not inspersed with oil droplets, 75-100 μm high, K/I+ blue; paraphyses simple, c. 2 μm thick at mid-level, the apical cells slightly capitate, up to 3 μm wide; hypothecium brown. Asci 8-spored, clavate to cylindrical-clavate, the apical dome K/I+ dark blue with a pale, conical-pointed apical cushion (axial mass), the wall I-, but the thin outer gel I+ blue, approaching the Bacidia-type. Ascospores 3-septate, sometimes with a single longitudinal septum in central part, on either side of the middle transverse septum, brown, ellipsoid, 14-25 x 8-11 µm. Pycnidia rare, the wall brown in upper part, colourless in lower part. Conidia bacilliform, 7-10 x c. 1 µm . Photobiont chlorococcoid. Spot tests: K-, C-, KC-, P-, UV-.
