Description
At the base, the frizzy and upright-growing, pale greenish-yellow snowflakes have a tan color. The mark is whitish colored. The individual bearing lobes have an angular, netzrunzelige surface, which consist of slightly flattened to concave non-runny sections. The lobes are 2 - 10 mm wide. It is easily confused with the hooded lichen (Flavocetraria cucullata), whose bearing lobes are almost rouletted towards the base and smooth inside.
