Thallus foliicolous, continuous, 10–40 mm across and 15–25 µm thick, strongly verrucose, pale bluish grey; verrucae hemispherical, 0.1–0.15(–0.2) mm diam., pale bluish grey to white, filled with yellow crystals. Apothecia rounded, 0.3–0.8 mm diam. and 150–220 µm high; disc plane to slightly concave, bright yellow to orange-yellow; margin distinct, slightly prominent, yellow to orange. Excipulum with indistinct structure due to strong incrustation with yellow crystals, 20–40 µm broad, grey, in K under pressure dissolving into free, moniliform hyphae with globose cells and constricted septa. Hypothecium 20–30 µm high, colourless to pale yellow, K–. Epithecium 5–10 µm high, yellow granular. Hymenium 40–60 µm high, colourless. Asci 35–50 x 8–12 µm. Ascospores ellipsoid to fusiform, 3-septate, with slight constrictions at septa, 10–16 x 3.5–5 µm, 3–3.5 times as long as broad, colourless. Campylidia 0.7–1.6 mm broad, ferrugineous brown, wall incrusted with yellow crystals. Conidia filiform, 3–9-septate, 50–70 x 1.2–1.6 µm, with lateral appendages up to 10 µm long and 0.7 µm thick, colourless. Chemistry: usnic acid, zeorin.
