Description: Thallus foliose, dorsiventral, loosely attached, up to 6 cm wide, sorediate. Lobes rounded, (3-)5-10(-20) mm wide, the margins markedly wavy, ascending, with linear, white soralia. Upper surface pale yellowish green; lower surface white to very pale brown, with white, rounded or irregular pseudocyphellae (which may lack in some specimens and are often surrounded by a pale brown line), and scattered, simple to forked rhizines. Upper and lower cortex paraplectenchymatous, with strongly gelatinized cells; medulla white. Apothecia extremely rare (not observed in Italian material), lecanorine, mostly marginal, with a brown disc and a usually sorediate thalline margin. Asci 8-spored, broadly clavate, Lecanora-type. Ascospores 1-celled, hyaline, subglobose, 5-6 x 4-4.5 μm. Pycnidia immersed in marginal projections. Conidia bifusiform, c. 3-5 x 0.5-1 μm. Photobiont chlorococcoid. Spot tests: upper cortex K- or K+ faintly yellow, C-, KC+ faintly yellow, P-; medulla K-, C-, KC-, P-. Chemistry: cortex with usnic acid; medulla with lichesterinic and protolichesterinic-type fatty acids;
Note: on acid-barked coniferous and deciduous trees in cold-humid montane woodlands, mostly in mixed Fagus-Abies forests, but also on Larix in humid subalpine stands. It is included in the Italian red list of epiphytic lichens as “Vulnerable” (Nascimbene & al. 2013c).
Growth form: Foliose, broad lobed
