Description: Thallus foliose to subcrustose, not umbilicate, multi-lobed, the lobes interconnected, with numerous holdfasts scattered over the lower surface, (3-) 5-15 mm wide, the central ones markedly sinuous, with down-turned margins. Upper surface grey-brown, usually pruinose; lower surface brown to dark brown, smooth to rugose. Upper cortex (40-)50-90(-110) μm thick, pseudoparenchymatous, of anticlinallly arranged hyphae, with a brown pigment near the surface, overlain by an epinecral layer of air-filled hyphae; lower cortex of anticlinally arranged hyphae; medulla white, of filamentous hyphae, I-. Perithecia common, slightly oblong, immersed in the thallus and scattered over almost the whole upper surface (appearing as black dots), without involucrellum. Exciple colourless except in the brown uppermost part; hamathecium or periphyses and periphysoids, interascal filaments absent; hymenial gel hemiamyloid. Asci 8-spored, clavate, I-, fissitunicate, the wall thickened above, with an ocular chamber, dehiscent by extrusion of an endotunica to form a delicate rostrum, Verrucaria-type. Ascospores 1-celled, hyaline, broadly ellipsoid to subglobose, 9-15 x 7-9 µm. Pycnidia common, black, immersed. Conidia bacilliform. Photobiont chlorococcoid. Spot tests: cortex and medulla K-, C-, KC-, P-, UV-. Chemistry: without lichen substances.
Note: a mainly boreal-montane to arctic-alpine, circumpolar lichen found on more or less calciferous rocks in periodically wet places, or near the ground, mostly in upland areas. According to Heidmarsson (2017), however, this is just a morph of D. miniatum. As the molecular taxonomy of the D. miniatum-complex is not fully resolved, I prefer to provisionally maintain the taxon as distinct.
Growth form: Foliose, narrow lobed
Substrata: rocks
Photobiont: green algae other than Trentepohlia
