Ciri dan struktur
Hydropunctaria rheitrophila has a whitish (initial fungal growth area) that is non-fimbriate (lacking hair-like projections). When multiple thalli grow adjacent to one another, they are often separated by thin black lines. The thallus (main body of the lichen) is thin to thick, measuring 60–140 micrometre (μm) in thickness, and grows superficially on its substrate. It has a somewhat gelatinous texture and is well-developed, typically measuring 60–95 μm thick. The surface appears even, either smooth or roughened, and is usually uncracked, though sparse cracks may sometimes be present. The thallus colour ranges from pale brownish green to olive green or dark green, and is dotted with sparse to numerous black spots. The upper (outer protective layer) is (composed of closely packed fungal cells) but poorly defined, measuring about 20 μm in thickness. The cell walls contain dark pigmentation, ranging from yellowish brown to blackish brown in colour. The algal cells ( partner) measure 8–15 μm in diameter and are arranged in more or less vertical columns throughout the thallus. The medulla (inner layer) is also paraplectenchymatous and contains intensely pigmented patches that appear as discrete black (dots) or columns. A black basal layer is generally absent or present only in small areas of the thallus. The reproductive structures of H. rheitrophila are perithecia, which may be completely immersed and visible only as black points, or they may project from the surface, depending on the thickness of the thallus. The (protective covering of the perithecium) is highly variable, ranging from apical and little-developed to well-developed in the upper half of the , often spreading outwards and downwards.
Habitat dan peran ekologis
Hydropunctaria rheitrophila is predominantly found throughout the holarctic region, with its range extending across central and northern Eurasia, North America, Asia, and Australia. Despite its primarily Northern Hemisphere distribution, the species has also been documented in the Southern Hemisphere, specifically in New Zealand. The species has been documented throughout various regions of the Iberian Peninsula, including Catalonia in northeastern Spain. In the Pyrenees mountains, it has been found in submerged or periodically inundated environments, particularly in mountain streams at elevations ranging from 1400 to 2900 metres. This lichen species inhabits a specialized ecological niche, growing on submerged or frequently wetted siliceous rocks and pebbles within the lower splash zone of freshwater environments. This habitat preference reflects its adaptation to periodically inundated conditions, where it can colonisze hard silica-containing substrates that experience regular wetting.

Reproduksi
The reproductive structures of H. rheitrophila are perithecia, which may be completely immersed and visible only as black points, or they may project from the surface, depending on the thickness of the thallus. The (protective covering of the perithecium) is highly variable, ranging from apical and little-developed to well-developed in the upper half of the , often spreading outwards and downwards. The excipulum (inner wall of the perithecium) measures 90–210 μm in width and is either colourless or partly brown. The (sterile filaments lining the inner surface of the perithecium) measure 20–30 by 1.5–3 μm. (sexual spores) made by H. rheitrophila are , colourless, and ellipsoid in shape, measuring 10–15 by 4.5–7 μm.
