Description: Thallus foliose, heteromerous, dorsiventral, adnate, forming orbicular to irregular (2-)3-5(-7) cm wide rosettes. Lobes 1-4 mm long, 0.5-1.5(-3) mm wide, flat, linear to sublinear, divergent to contiguous, irregularly branched, with rounded, often forked tips. Upper surface whitish grey to bluish grey, sometimes wrinkled or shallowly pitted in older parts, shiny at the tips of lobes, with abundant, laminal, cylindrical, simple to branched, to c. 2 mm tall, fragile isidia that with age tend to break and coalesce into a granulose mass. Lower surface white to tan, somewhat wrinkled, with brownish, simple, c. 0.5-1 mm long rhizines. Upper cortex paraplectenchymatous, of tightly packed, anticlinally oriented hyphae, with a pored epicortex, the cell walls with Cetraria-type lichenan; medulla white. Apothecia rare, lecanorine, constricted at base, 2-7 mm across, with a convex to flat, brown, epruinose disc and a persistent, often isidiate thalline margin. Epithecium brown; hymenium and hypothecium colourless; paraphyses mostly simple, the apical cells hardly swollen. Asci 8-spored, clavate, the K/I+ blue tholus penetrated by a faintly amyloid apical cushion with parallel or diverging flanks, the wall K/I-, surrounded by a K/I+ blue outer layer, Lecanora-type. Ascospores 1-celled, hyaline, ellipsoid, (5-)6-7(-9) x (3.5-)4-5(-6) µm. Pycnidia rare, black, mostly marginal, clearly projecting. Conidia ellipsoid to dumbbell-shaped, 3-4(-5) x c. 1 µm, Psora-type, borne terminally from joints of conidiogenous hyphae. Photobiont chlorococcoid. Spot tests: upper cortex and medulla K+ deep yellow, C-, KC-, P+ deep yellow-orange, UV-. Chemistry: upper cortex with atranorin and chloroatranorin; medulla with thamnolic acid (major) and decarboxythamnolic acid (trace).Note: a circumboreal-montane to cool-temperate species found on acid bark, mostly of conifers and on decorticated stumps, with optimum near treeline; common only in the Alps, much rarer in the mountains of Southern Italy.
Growth form: Foliose, narrow lobed
Substrata: bark and lignum
Photobiont: green algae other than Trentepohlia
Reproductive strategy: mainly asexual, by isidia, or isidia-like structures (e.g. schizidia)
