Upper surface whitish grey, flat, shiny, white-maculate, smooth to rugose, continuous or transversely cracked with age, without soredia and isidia; pseudocyphellae laminal and marginal, forming a nearly continuous narrow rim around margins; laminal pseudocyphellae effigurate and separate, fissuring with age. Lower surface moderately to densely rhizinate; rhizines simple to moderately squarrosely branched, usually projecting as a mat beyond lobe margins, 1–3 mm long. Apothecia common, pedicellate, 5–18 mm wide; disc concave or sometimes flat and radially splitting, pale brown to dark brown; thalline exciple pseudocyphellate. Ascospores 12–15 × 7–10 µm. Pycnidia numerous. Conidia bacilliform to weakly bifusiform, 5–6 × 1 µm. CHEMISTRY: cortex K+ yellow; medulla K+ yellow then red, C-, P+ red-orange; containing atranorin, chloroatranorin, salazinic acid (major), consalazinic acid (minor) and ±lobaric acid (minor). | ||
