Description: Thallus leprose, woolly-textured, poorly delimited, usually thin (less than 0.4 mm thick), sometimes of scattered granules, but usually continuous to rarely cracked, colouring rather large surfaces of a bright yellow colour, consisting of a mass of fine soredia-like granules measuring (10-)25-40(-70) µm; medulla usually not evident, in thick thalli sometimes indistinctly present, yellow. Apothecia very rare, biatorine, up to 0.5 mm across, round or angular, with a flat to slightly convex, pale orange-yellow, often yellow-pruinose disc, and a thin, ecorticate, soon excluded proper margin. Proper exciple poorly developed, up to 10 µm thick; epithecium colourless, up to 18 µm high; hymenium colourless, up to 50 µm high; paraphysoids 1-1.5 µm thick, richly branched and anastomosing, intertwined in epithecium; hypothecium colourless, poorly developed. Asci 8-spored, clavate, with a K/I+ blue layer between the two walls which is thicker in the apical part, becoming more diffuse downwardly. Ascospores 1-3-septate, hyaline, 9-14 x 3 µm. Photobiont chlorococcoid. Spot tests: K- or K+ faintly orange, C-, KC- or KC+ faintly orange, P- or P+ faintly orange, UV- or UV+ dull orange. Chemistry: calycin or pinastric acid, rarely both.
Note: a cool-temperate to circumboreal-montane lichen found on dry, shaded parts of trunks of deciduous and coniferous trees, on faces protected from rain, sometimes on lignum.
Growth form: Leprose
Substrata: bark
Photobiont: green algae other than Trentepohlia
Reproductive strategy: mainly asexual, by soredia, or soredia-like structures (e.g. blastidia)
In underhangs rarely wetted by rain
