Description
The lobes of the camp are between two and four inches tall and are wet from pure green color, dry brown-green to gray-green. The algae layer consists of green algae. Conspicuous are dark nests of cyanobacteria, so-called cephalods containing cyanobacteria of the genus Nostoc. The bottom of the bearing is spongy-filigree and has no or only indistinct veins that, unlike Peltigera leucophlebia, become abruptly dark towards the center of the bearing. The edge of the camp is bright, otherwise uniformly brown-black.
