Description: Thallus non- or doubtfully lichenized, crustose, mostly endosubstratic, appearing as a pale grey to white, continuous, poorly delimited patch. Perithecia black, matt, scattered, 0.1-0.25 µm across, flattened, with a central ostiole. Involucrellum greenish-brown, dimidiate, sometimes extending beyond the perithecium into a thin fringe, consisting of bark cells mixed with greenish-black, thick-walled, isodiametrical cells with large lumina; exciple colourless to pale brown, of thin-walled, flattened cells; pseudoparaphyses sparse, c. 2 µm thick. Asci (6-)8-spored, clavate, bi- and fissitunicate, with a rounded to truncate apex. Ascospores 1-3-septate, hyaline, falcate or sigmoid, with more or less rounded ends, (15-)25-32(-35) x 2-3.5 µm, without epispore. Pycnidia black, subglobose, scattered, at first immersed, then projecting. Conidia 1-celled, narrowly fusiform, curved, (11.5-)16.5-18 x 1.5-2.5 µm. Photobiont absent or thallus loosely associated with trentepohlioid algae. Spot tests: K-, C-, KC-, P-. Chemistry: without lichen substances.Note: a doubtfully lichenised species, found on base-rich bark of deciduous trees, mainly Populus tremula, Salix and Fraxinus. Probably overlooked, and more widespread in the submediterranean ecoregion of Italy.
