260:, particularly those found on exposed rocks. It can be viewed as the sorediate version of that species. Its colour is typically greyish-brown, with occasional pinkish hues and can even appear almost black. Most of its lobes are covered in a fine, hair-like layer, giving them a frosty look. The underside ranges from white to pale brown, with thickened edges and sporadic vein-like ridges descending from the underside. The soralia are hollowed-out but can be full of soredia, overflowing in some cases. 37: 299:, the hairy covering, is present on both the upper and lower surfaces, and the filaments are 10–30 μm long with rough walls. This cortex surrounds the sides of the lobes, extending to the underside in several places. Within the 234:

Most of the thallus underside consists of web-like fibres. 287:, or outer layer, a few distinct zones can be observed.
