Ciri dan struktur
Lepraria diffusa is a leprose lichen forming a powdery to cottony thallus. The margin of the thallus is diffuse to delimited, without . The medulla is usually present, thick and white in colour. A whitish grey to brownish is sometimes present but weakly developed. The thallus contains abundant coarse soredia measuring up to 100 micrometres in diameter, with projecting hyphae sometimes present and short in length. The diagnostic secondary metabolite is 4-oxypannaric acid 2-methylester, with additional minor compounds including 4-oxypannaric acid, pannaric acid methylester, pannaric acid 2-methylester, pannaric acid and other dibenzofurans in trace amounts. Chemical spot tests show K− or K+ (yellow slowly becoming orange), C− or C+ (yellow), KC− or KC+ (yellow), and Pd+ (reddish orange).
