Description: Thallus immersed in leaflets of liverworts, not lichenized and not apparent. Apothecia rounded, sessile, dark blue to blue-green when wet, almost black when dry, 0.2-0.6(-0.8) mm across, usually arranged in large clusters, with a flat disc and a thin, slightly raised, poorly evident margin. Proper exciple blue-green, of vertically arranged, globose to slightly angular, 7-16 μm wide cells; epithecium blue-green, N-; hymenium colourless, 100-150(-180) μm high, I-, K/I-; paraphyses 1.5-3 μm thick, simple or forked in upper part, the apical cells distinctly clavate, up to 7(-8) μm wide; hypothecium colourless. Asci 8-spored, cylindrical-clavate, with a thick, non-amyloid apical dome containing a cylindrical tube. Ascospores 1-celled, hyaline, ellipsoid to pyriform, (14-)16-22(-23) x 8-12 μm, filled with many oil droplets, without a distinct perispore. Photobiont absent. Spot tests: all negative.
