Distribution: N - Emil (Nascimbene & al. 2021), Lig (Puntillo & Puntillo 2009, Brackel 2016). C - Tosc (Loppi & al. 1997c, Tretiach & al. 2008, Puntillo & Puntillo 2009, Brackel 2016), Sar (Puntillo & Puntillo 2009, Brackel 2016).
Description: Thallus crustose, lead-grey, pillow-like or poorly evident, infecting the thalli of silicicolous Pertusaria-species. Cortex colourless, 22–80 μm thick, inspersed with crystals; medulla dark in lower part. Apothecia immersed in thalline warts, 0.5-0.8 mm across, usually epruinose, with a black mazaedium. Exciple 36–64 μm thick laterally, dark brown, of strongly sclerotized, interwoven hyphae, with an outer gelatinous layer, strongly thickened (140–160 μm) at base; hypothecium dark brown, of periclinally arranged, sclerotized hyphae. Asci narrowly clavate, formed singly from hooked ascogenous hyphae, persisting until the spores are nearly ripe, with biseriately arranged spores, 28-42 x 3-5 μm. Ascospores 1-septate and constricted at septum, brown, broadly ellipsoid, (10-)11-15(-18) x (6-)7-10(-12) µm, with an ornamentation of a few, spirally arranged, shallow wall fissures. Photobiont chlorococcoid. Spot tests: K-, C-, KC-, P-. Chemistry: without lichen substances.
Note: a rare lichen growing on silicicolous pertusarioid species, especially Ochrolechia microstictoides. Mostly Tyrrhenian in Italy.
