A strictly lichenicolous species, obligately associated with Baeomyces rufus and rarely also with B. placophyllus. It has a clearly delimited, immersed grey to greenish thallus with black apothecia and pycnidia. It is scattered from lowlands to mountains all over the Czech Republic, partly probably overlooked. In Europe, the species is mainly known from the Alps (Obermayer 1994). From the similar A. muddii, which obligately grows on Dibaeis baeomyces, it also differs in the hymenium characteristics and narrower less-septate spores.
