Description edit
Characteristics of the genus Brianaria include the small, convex apothecia that lack an excipulum; an ascus of the ‘Psora-type’; 0–1-septate ascospores, dimorphic paraphyses, and immersed pycnidia that contain bacilliform conidia. The photobiont is chlorococcoid, and non-micareoid.[2]
