Description: Thallus foliose, broad-lobed, homoiomerous, gelatinous when wet, firm and markedly rigid when dry, rather loosely adnate, forming large, more or less regular, 5-10(-13) cm wide rosettes. Lobes 5-10 mm wide, contiguous or more or less imbricate, with rounded, ear-like apices, 70-150 µm thick, firm and rigid when dry. Upper surface brown-black or dark lead-grey, greenish brown when moist, minutely and irregularly but conspicuously wrinkled and striate. Lower surface white-tomentose with long-celled, up to 1-1.5 mm long hairs and tufts of pale rhizines. Upper and lower cortex formed by a single layer of cells, inner part of thallus with loosely interwoven chains of Nostoc and hyphae. Apothecia usually abundant, especially in the central parts, lecanorine, laminal, at first immersed in the thallus, then sessile, 2-4(-6) mm across, with a brown-red, shiny disc and a grey-brown, rather thin, usually rugose thalline margin. Proper exciple euparaplectenchymatous; epithecium pale brown; hymenium colourless, K/I+ blue; paraphyses simple, 1-2.5 µm thick at mid-level, the apical cells slightly swollen; hypothecium colourless. Asci 8-spored, cylindrical-clavate, the apex strongly thickened, the apical dome K/I+ pale blue, with a downwardly projecting K/I+ deep blue tubular structure. Ascospores muriform, hyaline, ellipsoid, 16-24(-26) x 8-10 µm. Pycnidia immersed, marginal to submarginal, 0.1-0.3 mm across. Conidia bacilliform, with swollen apices, 4.3-5.5 x 1.3-1.6 µm. Photobiont cyanobacterial (Nostoc, the cells in long chains). Spot tests: all negative. Chemistry: without lichen substances.
Note: on isolated tress with base-rich bark, especially Juglans, Fraxinus and Populus in humid valleys with a rather continental climate. It is included in the Italian red list of epiphytic lichens as “Near-threatened” (Nascimbene & al. 2013c).
Growth form: Foliose, broad lobed
Substrata: bark
