Description: Thallus crustose, episubstratic, granular to verrucose-areolate, rarely reduced to sparse granules surrounding the apothecia, yellowish white to yellowish grey, rarely delimited by a thin, whitish grey prothallus. Areoles thin, ecorticate, smooth. Apothecia clearly (pseudo-)lecanorine only when young, sessile, 0.2-0.8 mm across, with a reddish brown to blackish brown, flat to convex, often grey-pruinose disc, and a paler, thin but prominent, entire, epruinose, finally excluded thalline margin. Thalline exciple with very few algal cells, mostly located near the base; proper exciple colourless, lacking crystals; epithecium brown to olive-green, with pigment and coarse crystals dissolving in K; hymenium colourless, not inspersed with oil droplets; paraphyses rather coherent, capitate, the apical cells up to 4 µm thick; hypothecium colourless, not inspersed. Asci 8-spored, clavate, very thin-walled, with a K/I+ blue, tall tholus penetrated by a faintly amyloid apical cushion, the wall K/I-, surrounded by a blue outer layer, Lecanora-type. Ascospores 1-celled, hyaline, narrowly ellipsoid, 7-13 x 3-5 μm, the wall <1 µm thick. Pycnidia usually abundant, immersed, black. Conidia bacilliform, 3-6 x 1-1.5 µm. Photobiont chlorococcoid. Spot tests: thallus K+ yellow turning orange-red (red crystals), C-, KC-, P+ orange. Chemistry: norstictic acid (major), connorstictic acid (minor), and salazinic acid (major or absent); the chemotype with virensic acid was never found in Italy.

Note: a circumboreal-montane species found on the bark of conifers, especially near the base of the trunks, more rarely on lignum of decorticated trunks, with optimum in the upper montane and subalpine belts.
