Upper surface blue-green when moist, plumbeous to bluish grey when dry, with thin, longitudina, white striae. Lower surface pale, with pale, unbranched, tapering, 0.2–0.4 mm long rhizines partly protruding from under the lobe margins and visible from above. Lobes densely isidiate; isidia laminal, dense, uniformly cylindrical, mostly unbranched to bifurcate, 0.1–0.3 mm long and 0.05–0.1 mm thick, in mature thalli covering most of the thallus interior. Apothecia not observed. Pycnidia not observed. Secondary chemistry: no substances detected by TLC.
