Other Information
This species produces meandering rather convex white or pale grey lobes which are powdery and often accompanied by balls of granular material (soredia) which are a means of spreading vegetatively. It also sometimes has a few white-rimmed blackish fruiting bodies (apothecia) but this example has neither.
