Description: Thallus leprose, cottony, forming obscurely lobed rosettes to irregularly delimited or diffuse, composed of a mass of powdery granules, bluish white, pale yellowish-greenish grey or pale cream-coloured. Granules soredia-like, 80-180 µm wide, sometimes gathered in up to 300 µm wide aggregates, without projecting hyphae or with short projecting hyphae. Medulla white, weakly developed, the hyphae 2-4 µm thick, anastomosing, most often covered in numerous colourless crystals; lower side of thallus sometimes with orange-brown hyphae forming a weakly developed hypothallus reacting K+ purple-red. Photobiont chlorococcoid, the cells spherical, to 20 µm in diam. Spot tests: K- or K+ dirty yellow to orange, C- or C+ dirty orange, KC-, P- to P+ orange or yellow-orange, UV-. Chemistry: pannaric acid-6 methylester, rarely atranorin and roccellic acid, with or without pannaric acid.
Note: on isolated deciduous trees with subneutral to subacid bark, usually in positions which are seldom wetted by rain, sometimes on brick walls, with a wide ecological and altitudinal range; certainly common throughout Italy.
Growth form: Leprose
Substrata: bark and rocks
Photobiont: green algae other than Trentepohlia
Reproductive strategy: mainly asexual, by soredia, or soredia-like structures (e.g. blastidia)
In underhangs rarely wetted by rain
