Description: Thallus crustose, episubstratic, rather thick and usually well-evident, granular to subleprose, greenish. Apothecia short-stalked, black with a thin whitish pruina which is most abundant on the lower side of capitulum. Stalk 0.4-0.6 mm high, of moderately sclerotized, dark, anticlinally arranged, irregularly interwoven hyphae. Capitulum lenticular, with a well-developed, cup-shaped exciple of largely anticlinally arranged hyphae; mazaedium well developed, black; hypothecium medium brown, with a flat upper surface. Asci clavate, formed singly, dissolving early, with 2-3 seriate ascospores. Ascospores 1-septate, constricted at septum, dark brown, ellipsoid, 12-16 x 4-6 µm, the wall thick, first with spirally arranged ridges, then coarsely cracked. Photobiont chlorococcoid.
