Description: Thallus crustose, usually smooth, continuous to finely rimose in central parts, white to very pale grey, sometimes delimited by a dark prothallus. Apothecia lecanorine, 1-3 mm across, round or most often irregular in outline, slightly constricted at base, with an ochraceous brown to medium brown, at first slightly pruinose, then epruinose, flat to finally slightly convex disc and a thick, swollen, often flexuose, pruinose thalline margin. Thalline exciple without a differentiated cortex, the medullary hyphae reaching the margin, with abundant, small, yellowish crystals visible under polarized light, which are insoluble in K; epithecium orange to orange-brown, the pigment not dissolving in K, with coarse, yellowish crystals dissolving in K; hymenium colourless, 75-110 µm high; paraphyses simple or sparingly branched and anastomosing, 1.5-2.5 thick at mid-level, the apical cells up to 3.5(-4) µm wide; hypothecium colourless, not inspersed with oil droplets. 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, 11-18 x 5-8 µm. Photobiont chlorococcoid. Spot tests: thallus K+ yellow (sometimes turning brownish), C-, KC-, P+ yellow to orange-red (reaction more evident in the thalline margin of apothecia), UV+ pale orange; apothecial disc P-. Chemistry: atranorin (major), chloratranorin, psoromic acid, 2'-0-demethylpsoromic acid, zeorin.
Note: a cool-temperate species found on smooth subacid bark, with optimum in humid beech forests; present throughout the country, but most common in the beech forests of Central and Southern Italy.
