Description: Thallus crustose-subsquamulose, heteromerous, episubstratic, bluish grey to olive-brown, of 2-3 mm wide, 160-230 µm thick, contiguous or imbricate, sorediate areoles/squamules with a white-felted, upturned margin, developing on a thin, often inconspicuous, blue-black hypothallus, usually forming a thick, cracked crust. Soredia granular, lead-grey or violet-grey, arranged in marginal, sometimes finally confluent soralia often covering the central parts of thallus, which often appear woolly in herbarium material (accumulation of fine crystals). Upper cortex sclerenchymatous, 30-40 µm thick, of thick-walled cells; lower cortex absent. Apothecia very rare, lecanorine, 0.5-1.5(-2) mm across, with a brown disc and a granular, sometimes sorediate, often poorly developed thalline margin. Proper exciple subparaplectenchymatous, 40-70 µm wide; epithecium pale brown; hymenium colourless, c. 100 µm high, hemihamyloid, I+ blue-green turning reddish; paraphyses simple, coherent, the apical cells slightly swollen; hypothecium colourless. Asci 8-spored, subcylindrical to clavate, with a I+ blue tholus and an internal, more intensely I+ blue apical plug. Ascospores 1-celled, hyaline, ellipsoid, with a thick epispore 4nd broadly attenuated apices, measuring (10-)13-16 x 7-8(-9) µm without epispore, 17-23 x 8-10 µm with epispore. Photobiont cyanobacterial (Nostoc, the cells in clusters). Spot tests: thallus K-, C-, KC-, P-, UV-. Chemistry: fatty acids and steroids.Note: a mild-temperate to Mediterranean species found on bark of ancient broad-leaved trees in semi-natural, rather undisturbed, humid woodlands, more rarely on siliceous, mossy rocks; mostly Tyrrhenian in Italy.
Growth form: Squamulose
Substrata: bark
Photobiont: cyanobacteria, filamentous (e.g. Nostoc, Scytonema)
Reproductive strategy: mainly asexual, by soredia, or soredia-like structures (e.g. blastidia)
Most common in areas with a humid-warm climate (e.g. most of Tyrrenian Italy)
