Description: Thallus foliose, heteromerous and dorsiventral, loosely attached by a single, stout hapter, up to 2.5 cm in diam. Lobes flattened, smooth, rounded to fan-shaped, up to 25(-30) mm across and up to 1 mm thick. Upper surface smooth, somehow shiny, grey to grey green when dry (turning brown in the herbarium), bright green when wet. Lower surface erhizinate, pale, with a very evident network of black, flat, reticulate, villose veins, and granular-warty, dark cephalodia located on the veins. Upper cortex pseudoparenchymatous; medulla white; lower cortex absent. Apothecia frequent, 1-6 per lobe, rounded or oval, flat, up to 5(-6) mm across, dark brown to black, the lower side with a thick, dark, pseudoparenchymatous cortex. Paraphyses simple, distinctly thickened above. Asci 8-spored, fissitunicate, the thickened apex with a K/I+ blue ring, Peltigera-type. Ascospores usually 3-septate, hyaline to pale brown at maturity, acicular, thin-walled, (29-)35-43(-47) x 4-8 µm. Photobiont chlorococcoid (Coccomyxa), cephalodia with Nostoc. Spot tests: cortex and medulla K-, C-, KC-, P-, UV- or very rarely medulla faintly C+ and KC+ pink. Chemistry: medulla with tenuiorin, methyl gyrophorate and triterpenoids, sometimes with traces of gyrophoric acid.
Note: an arctic-alpine to boreal-montane, circumpolar lichen found on soil rich in humus in cold-humid sites near and above treeline; most frequent in the Alps, very rare in the mountains of Central and Southern Italy.
Growth form: Foliose, broad lobed
Substrata: soil, terricolous mosses, and plant debris
