Description: Thallus crustose, poorly evident, endosubstratic to thinly episubstratic and small-granulose, forming small, pale grey to yellowish grey patches. Cortex usually poorly developed, composed of an amorphous layer or indistinctly paraplectenchymatous. Apothecia biatorine/zeorine, sessile, 0.2-0.4 mm across, with a yellow, flat, epruinose disc and a paler proper margin; a grey thalline margin is rarely visible only on the lower surface of apothecia. Thalline exciple ecorticate or with a very poorly developed cortex, up to 35 µm wide; proper exciple 20-40(-50) μm wide, consisting of radiating, thick-walled hyphae with long and narrow short-ellipsoid cells measuring 4-12 x 1-4 µm; epithecium orange, inspersed with granules, K+ purple-red, C-; hymenium colourless, 55-70 μm high; paraphyses simple, submoniliform, 2-2. μm thick at mid-level, the apical cells 4-6 µm wide; hypothecium colourless, (10-)20-45 µm high. Asci 8-spored, cylindrical-clavate, functionally unitunicate, apically thickened with a broad internal beak, the inner part of apex and external cap I+ blue, Teloschistes-type. Ascospores 2-celled, polarilocular, hyaline, ellipsoid, (8.5-)10-12.5(-15) x (5-)6-9 μm, the equatorial thickening (“septum”) 3-7 μm, c. 1/3-1/2 of spore length. Photobiont chlorococcoid. Spot tests: thallus K-, C-, KC-, P-; apothecia K+ purple-red, C-. Chemistry: thallus without lichen substances; apothecia with parietin (major), fallacinal, emodin, teloschistin and parietinic acid (minor), corresponding with chemosyndrome A of Søchting (1997).Note: superficially similar to A. cerinella, but with a different number of spores per ascus. On base-rich bark, often of Populus tremula sometimes on nutrient-enriched twigs of conifers, usually absent from coastal-maritime situations. Some Italian records could refer to A. skii.
