The type specimen was collected at a place called "La Rivière", in the commune of Collobrières; here it was found growing on the ground at an altitude of 135 m (443 ft).

[1] The lichen makes a slender mushroom-like fruiting body with a stipe length about three to five times the diameter of the cap.

The convex to sub-hemispherical gray cap measures 0.2–0.6 cm (0.08–0.24 in) and has slight radial "ribs".

There are greenish glomerules at the stipe base, indicating a lichen thallus of the Botrydina type.

Basidiospores are smooth, inamyloid, hyaline, and ellipsoid in shape, and have dimensions of 5.3–7.7 by 3.0–4.4 μm.
