Description: Thallus crustose, endosubstratic or more rarely very thinly episubstratic and then whitish to pale grey, rimose-granulose, forming up to c. 1 cm wide patches. Apothecia cryptolecanorine, 0.2-0.6 mm across, immersed in the rock, then adnate to rarely sessile, with a flat to slightly convex, dark brown to black, sometimes slightly white-pruinose disc, and a thin, sometimes finally excluded proper margin; thalline margin absent or very poorly developed. Epithecium dark brown, 15-20 µm thick, K-; hymenium colourless, 60-100 μm high; paraphyses simple, 1-2 μm thick at mid-level, the apical cells 3-7 μm wide, often capitate, the apical cell with internal brown pigment; hypothecium colourless or very pale brown, up to to 100 µm high. Asci 8-spored, narrowly 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 1-septate, brown, ellipsoid, sometimes slightly constricted at septum, (12-)14-17(-19) x 8-10(-11) μm, Physconia-type, without a torus, the ontogeny of type A (apical wall thickening after septum formation). Photobiont chlorococcoid. Spot tests: K-, C-, KC-, P-, UV-. Chemistry: without lichen substances.Note: a mainly temperate species found on steeply inclined to rain-sheltered, sunny surfaces of limestone and dolomite wetted by rain, sometimes also on pebbles on the ground, with optimum below the subalpine belt.
