Apothecia: to 5 mm, orange-red, with conspicous membranaceous margin
Paraphyses: apically curved
Asci: cylindrical, 8-spored, spores biseriate
Spores: ellipsoid to subcylindrical with broadly rounded ends, 19-25 x 9-11(12) µm, smooth, with one or two large oil droplets
Host: Schistidium
Habitat: on stone (mostly limestone) and mortar walls in tufts of Schistidium
Distribution: known from many European countries i.e. Germany (scattered, BW, BY, HH, RP, TH), Spain, Sweden (Isaksson 2022), as well as from North America
Note: This species is very similar to O. musci-muralis but has slighly smaller ascospores and parasites on Schistidium rather than Grimmia.
