Description: Thallus crustose, thinly episubstratic, 0.05-0.12 mm thick, esorediate, pale grey to whitish, inspersed with calcium oxalate crystals, sometimes delimited by a black prothallus. Medulla I-. Apothecia black, elliptical, irregular or clearly elongate and lirelliform, 0.2-2 mm long, simple or rarely branched, with a slit-like, epruinose or rarely slightly pruinose disc, a raised proper margin, and often a whitish basal thalline rim. Proper exciple thin, of anticlinally arranged hyphae; epithecium reddish brown to brown-black, 15-25 µm high; hymenium colourless, 55-85 µm high, I+ and K/I+ blue; paraphysoids sparsely branched and anastomosing, 1-2 µm thick; hypothecium brown-black to carbonaceous, 40-115 µm high, K+ olivaceous green to dark greenish black. Asci 8-spored, fissitunicate, clavate, with two functional wall layers, thickened at the apex, with an internal K/I+ blue ring. Ascospores 3-septate, hyaline, narrowly fusiform, strongly or slightly curved, (24-)29-35(-40) x 2-4 µm. Pycnidia black, immersed in the thallus. Conidia bacilliform, straight or curved, hyaline, (3-)4-6 x 1-2 µm. Photobiont trentepohlioid. Spot tests: K-, C-, KC-, P-, UV-. Chemistry: without lichen substances.

Note: a cool-temperate, mainly western species with optimum in humid Abies-Fagus forests of the Apennines, but also occurring in humid sites of Tyrrhenian Italy within the Mediterranean belt. Tehler (in litt.) has seen material of Opegrapha ricasolii from "Etruria" (Herb. S) collected by Ricasoli and determined by Garovaglio that might be accepted as a lectotype; this is identical to Schismatomma graphidiodes and the epithet ricasolii is the correct one. It is included in the Italian red list of epiphytic lichens as “Near-threatened” (Nascimbene & al. 2013c).
