Description: Thallus crustose, episubstratic, whitish grey to yellowish white, smooth to mostly verrucose-tuberculate, often somehow shining. Apothecia frequent, lecanorine-perithecioid, immersed in subglobose, strongly constricted, 1-1.5 mm broad thalline warts, 1(-3) per wart, the disc punctiform, 0.1-0.2 mm across, brown-black, yellow-brown when young. Epithecium brown-black, K+ violet; hymenium and hypothecium colourless; paraphyses thin, densely branched, free. Asci (2-)4-spored, broadly cylindrical, the apex with a broad ocular chamber, the outer sheath K/I+ blue, otherwise K/I-, with an inner extensible layer, Pertusaria-type. Ascospores 1-celled, hyaline, ellipsoid, thick-walled, (50-)70-125(-170) x 25-50(-60) µm. Pycnidia dark, immersed. Conidia bacilliform, 8-11 x c. 0.5 µm. Photobiont chlorococcoid. Spot tests: K+ yellow, then rapidly red, C-, KC+ faintly yellow-red, P+ yellow, UV+ glaucous. Chemistry: norstictic acid and variable amounts of stictic acid.Note: an arctic-alpine lichen found on more or less calciferous soil rich in humus and on plant debris in sites with a long snow-cover near and above treeline; probably restricted to the Alps and the northern Apennines in Italy.
