Description: Thallus crustose, episubstratic, whitish to grey, thin to rather thick, areolate, the areoles flat to convex, contiguous, sometimes almost subsquamulose, 0.1-0.3 mm broad, smooth, epruinose, forming a compact crust. Upper cortex paraplectenchymatous; medulla poorly developed, dense. Apothecia frequent, biatorine, sessile, constricted at base, 0.2-0.6(-0.9) mm across, with a rusty red to dark reddish brown or finally blackish brown, at first flat, but rapidly strongly convex, rough disc; thalline margin indistinct in mature apothecia; proper margin thin, evident only in very young apothecia. Proper exciple up to 80-100 μm wide, the inner part broad, paraplectenchymatous, colourless; epithecium coarsely granular, orange, K+ purple-red, C+ purple; hymenium colourless, 100-120 μm high; paraphyses not gelatinized, branched in upper part, the terminal cells sometimes swollen, 2-6 μm wide; hypothecium colourless to pale brown. Asci mainly 8-spored, 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, broadly ellipsoid, (12-)15-20(-23) x (6-)8-10(-12) µm, the equatorial thickening (“septum”) 2.5-3(-4) µm (1/4-1/3 of spore length). Photobiont chlorococcoid. Spot tests: thallus K- or K+ yellow, C-, KC-, P-; apothecia K+ purple-red, C+ purple. Chemistry: thallus without lichen substances or with low amounts of atranorin; apothecia with chlorinated anthraquinones (citreorosein, emodinal, emodinic acid, emodin).
Note: a holarctic lichen ranging from the arctic zone to the high southern mountains, found on mosses and plant debris on calcareous or base-rich siliceous substrata, with optimum near or above treeline, sometimes reaching the montane belt in open habitats; common in the Alps, restricted to the highest areas of the Apennines.
