Description: Thallus not evident, not lichenized. Apothecia stalked, black to dark brown, 0.4-0.8 mm high. Stalk consisting of periclinally arranged, dark greenish to brownish hyphae. Capitulum obconical to lenticular, 0.2-0.3 mm across, with a convex upper surface. Excipulum thin to rather thick; mazaedium absent; hypothecium dark brown. Asci cylindrical, 40-45 µm long, formed singly, with a single functional layer, strongly and uniformly thickened at apex, without a canal, with uniseriately arranged ascospores, persisting until the spores are mature. Ascospores 1-celled, dark brown, ellipsoid to fusiform, flattened, (5.5-)7-9 x (2.5-)3.5-4 µm, with a smooth or irregularly and minutely verrucose wall. Pycnidia black, with a distinct apical pore. Conidia more or less curved, pale brown, 4-5 x 1-1.5 µm. Photobiont absent. Spot tests: K-, C-, KC-, P- (but the stalk sometimes K+ slightly reddish). Chemistry: without lichen substances.
