Syst. Lich. Germ.: 123, 1855.
Synonyms: Rinodina pyreniospora (Nyl.) Branth & Rostr.
Distribution: N - Frl (Tretiach & Hafellner 2000), Ven (TSB 13730), TAA (Nascimbene & al. 2004, 2004b), Lomb, Piem, Lig. C - Umb (Ravera & al. 2006, 2006b).
Description: Thallus crustose, episubstratic, usually thin, sometimes inconspicuous, continuous and smooth to finely rugose, cracked or rarely verrucose, pale grey to grey-brown, sometimes with a greenish tinge, usually not delimited by a distinct prothallus. Apothecia lecanorine, abundant and often crowded, 0.3-0.8(-1) mm across, sessile to adnate, with a dark brown to brown-black, flat to slightly convex disc and a distinct but thin, persistent thalline margin. Epithecium brown to red-brown, K-; hymenium colourless, 80-135 µm high; hypothecium colourless to pale yellow, (25-)35-60(-70) µm high. Asci 8-spored, clavate, the K/I+ blue tholus penetrated by a faintly amyloid apical cushion with parallel or diverging flanks, the wall K/I-, surrounded by a K/I+ blue outer layer, Lecanora-type. Ascospores at first 1-septate, then 3(-5)-septate, brown, ellipsoid, (18-)25-31(-35) x 9-15 µm, Conradii-type, the wall strongly thickened with an evident torus, the ontogeny of type B (apical wall thickened prior to septum formation). Pycnidia black, immersed. Conidia bacilliform, 3.5-4 µm long. Photobiont chlorococcoid. Spot tests: thallus K-, C-, KC-, P-, UV-. Chemistry: without lichen substances.
Note: a widespread, short-lived early coloniser of base-rich soil and terricolous bryophytes in open habitats, sometimes on mosses on basal parts of ancient trees.
