Description: Thallus crustose, episubstratic, continuous or cracked, pale ochre to orange-brown or brownish green, becoming brighter green when wet. Perithecia red-brown (brighter red when wet) to black (often only at apex) c. one third-immersed, 0.2-0.5 mm across. Involucrellum thick, of thick-walled, more or less elongated cells, containing photobiont cells, orange, K+ orange (Porina-yellow pigment), the upper part purple-violet and K+ dark blue-grey; paraphyses simple or rarely branched; hymenial gel I-, K/I-. Asci 8-spored, clavate-cylindrical, thin-walled throughout, functionally unitunicate, dehiscent by rupture of the apex, with no extruded inner layers and an apical ring structure, I-, K/I-. Ascospores 3(4-6)-septate, hyaline, narrowly ellipsoid, 16-30(-45) x 4-8 μm. Pycnidia orange, more or less immersed. Conidia narrowly ellipsoid to cylindrical, 3-4.5 x 0.7-1 μm. Photobiont trentepohlioid. Spot tests: all negative. Chemistry: no lichen substances in thallus; involucrellum with the Porina-yellow pigment.
Note: a mild-temperate to Mediterranean-Atlantic species found on steeply inclined surfaces of siliceous rocks in shaded-moist situations, often in forests, or on periodically submerged rocks near creeks and lakes.
