The rosettig-star-shaped bearing of Physcia stellaris is white-gray to gray. Thallus lobules are 0.5 to 1.5 (rarely to 3) mm wide, white to light brown underneath. In contrast to the very similar Physcia aipolia, the camp is not white dotted. The dark brown, partly frosted Apothecien (diameter 0.7 to 3 mm) occur frequently and have a bearing-colored edge.
Odor:
