Description: • Thallus crustose, greenish grey, greenish yellow to dirty grey-brown, highly variable, from rimose to cracked-areolate, the areoles sharply angular, more or less regular, epruinose, with marginal, granulose, 60-80 µm wide blastidia which later can cover most of the thallus. Apothecia not always present, lecanorine, rounded, sessile, 0.2-0.6(-0.8) mm across, with a flat to slightly convex, orange-brown to dark brown disc and a thin, granular-blastidiate, often finally excluded thalline margin. Epithecium yellowish brown to dark brown; hymenium colourless to pale brown, 50-70 µm high; paraphyses coherent, mostly not swollen at apex, but a few apical cells slightly clavate, up to 3 µm wide; hypothecium colourless to pale brown. Asci 8-spored, narrowly clavate, with a K/I+ blue tholus and a central non-amyloid area, Bacidia-type. Ascospores 1-septate, hyaline, ellipsoid, 9-14(-16) x 3-5 µm. Photobiont chlorococcoid. Spot tests: thallus K-, C-, KC-, P-, UV-. Chemistry: without lichen substances.

Note: a mainly temperate lichen found on calcareous substrata, often on mortar, concrete and brick walls below the subalpine belt; in the past often confused with other species.

Growth form: Crustose

Substrata: rocks

Photobiont: green algae other than Trentepohlia

Reproductive strategy: mainly asexual, by soredia, or soredia-like structures (e.g. blastidia)
