The upper surface is yellow–green, while the bottom surface is brown and flat, measuring 0.2–0.6 millimetres (0.0079–0.0236 in) in diameter. The apothecia are 2–10 millimetres (0.08–0.39 in) wide, the thallus is laminal and is 3–10 centimetres (1–4 in) in diameter. The disc is either cinnamon-brown or dark brown and is ellipsoided. The pycnidia are immersed, and the conidia are bifusiform, with 8-spored asci that are hyaline and ellipsoid.[3]
