Description: Thallus crustose, usually endosubstratic in non-sorediate parts, episubstratic in sorediate parts, thin, yellowish green, at first forming small orbicular patches up to 1-2 cm across, which later become confluent and may cover extensive areas, often delimited by a whitish prothallus. Fertile specimens sometimes with esorediate, slightly convex, to 0.2 mm wide, ecorticate areoles. Sorediate specimens with diffuse, farinose (20-50 µm in diam.), yellowish green soredia which finally cover almost the whole thallus, giving it a subleprose appearance. Apothecia rare, lecanorine, up to 1.5 mm across, with a dull yellow to pale brown, flat to slightly convex disc and a weakly prominent, often persistent, sorediate thalline margin. Thalline exciple of irregularly entangled hyphae; epithecium pale yellow, with numerous small yellowish crystals soluble in K; hymenium colourless; paraphyses simple to weakly branched and anastomosing, 1.5-2.5 µm thick, with slightly thickened apical cells; hypothecium colourless to pale yellow. 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, ellipsoid to broadly ellipsoid, (7.5-)9-13(-17) x (3-)4-6(-7.5) µm. Photobiont chlorococcoid. Spot tests: thallus and soredia K+ pale yellow, C+ deep yellow to orange, P-; UV+ brownish orange (long wave). Chemistry: usnic acid, zeorin, thiophanic acid (major), unidentified xanthones, Expallens-unknown.Note: a mainly temperate species found on acid, generally rough bark, especially abundant on Quercus cerris in open woodlands, sometimes on lignum, widespread and locally common throughout the country below the montane belt.
