Description: Thallus crustose, episubstratic, continuous to usually verrucose, bright yellow-green. Cortex 22-34 µm thick, densely inspersed with yellow crystals in lower part, the uppermost part with a hyaline layer. Apothecia immersed in 0.5-0.8 mm wide thalline warts, 0.2-0.5 mm across, covered with a black, epruinose mazaedium. Exciple 14-34 µm thick laterally, not or only slightly thickened at base, of intricately interwoven, brown, sclerotized hyphae with thickened walls; hypothecium very thin, poorly pigmented. Asci ellipsoid to pyriform, rupturing at a very early stage, with 2-3 seriately arranged spores. Ascospores at first 1-septate, then submuriform with oblique septa, brown, broadly ellipsoid or irregular in outline, constricted at septa, 17-24 x 13-18 µm, with 2-14 cells. Pycnidia frequent, black, 50-100 µm across, often forming up to 0.26 mm wide, irregular clusters. Conidia cylindrical, 3-4 x <1 µm, or ellipsoid, 3-4 x c. 1.5 µm. Photobiont chlorococcoid. Spot tests: thallus K-, C-, KC-, P-. Chemistry: thallus with rhizocarpic acid.
Note: a mainly cool-temperate to southern boreal-montane lichen found on dry, weathered wood (e.g. on fences, wooden poles), but also on bark of old acid-barked trees (especially Quercus). Widespread, but rare, from the Alps to the mountains of Sardinia. It is included in the Italian red list of epiphytic lichens as “Vulnerable” (Nascimbene & al. 2013c).
