Description: Thallus crustose-subsquamulose, heteromerous, 110-190 μm thick, of 1-1.5 mm wide, olive-brown, slightly to deeply incised squamules with a white-felted, undulating margin and lower surface, developing on a blue-black hypothallus. Upper cortex paraplectenchymatous 30-40 μm thick, of thick-walled cells; medulla c. 50 μm thick. Apothecia lecanorine, 0.5-1.2 mm across, with a flat to finally convex, reddish brown disc, and a more or less crenulate, persistent, sometimes white-felted thalline margin. Proper exciple paraplectenchymatous, c. 40 μm wide; epithecium brown; hymenium colourless, 80-140 μm high, I+ green-blue turning reddish; paraphyses coherent, simple, slightly swollen at apex; hypothecium colourless to yellowish, paraplectenchymatous, 120-140 μm high. Asci 8-spored, subcylindrical to clavate, with a I+ blue tholus and an internal, more intensely I+ blue ring-structure. Ascospores 1-celled, hyaline, ellipsoid, usually with a large guttule, the apices rounded, with a distinct epispore, 13-17 x 7-10 μm without epispore, 17-22.5 x 9.5-12 μm including the epispore. Photobiont cyanobacterial (Nostoc, the cells in short clusters). Spot tests: thallus K-, C-, KC-, P-, UV-. Chemistry: without lichen substances.
Note: a mild-temperate to Mediterranean species found on bark and mossy trunks in humid broad-leaved woodlands; typically Tyrrhenian (the record from Abruzzo is exceptional).
Growth form: Squamulose
Substrata: bark
Photobiont: cyanobacteria, filamentous (e.g. Nostoc, Scytonema)
Reproductive strategy: mainly sexual
Most common in areas with a humid-warm climate (e.g. most of Tyrrenian Italy)
