This species is known by its dispersed-verrucose to verruculose or continuous to nearly byssoid, yellowish white to yellowish grey, sessile apothecia, disc pale to dark red-brown, pigment not dissolving in K, ellipsoidal ascospores, 11.5–17.0 × 6.5–9.0 µm (Lumbsch and Elix, 2004, Caceres, 2007).

Due to all the previous information this species might be considered as Least Concern (LC) until a better understanding.

This is species is known in 35 countries. In Brazil, 199 occurrences to this species are known, located in South, Southeast, Midwest, North and Northeast of Brazil according to GBIF database.

In Brazil, this species can be found at the Atlantic Rainforest in Northeast, Midwest, South and Southeast of Brazil, and at the Amazon Rainforest in North of Brazil.

In Brazil, this species commonly founded in Atlantic and Amazon Rainforest that are biomes that still suffer anthropic actions in special wildfire, natural and criminal caused, and area suppression.

In Brazil, the records are related to preserved areas, but unfortunately, those spaces still being affected by negatives influences. So, formal education to the population that lives near those areas and the park managers can start to change the situation.

Actions that are orientated to taxonomy and exploration to new sites need to be stimulated until a better understanding of this species status.
