Inflated Scalewort is usually found on trees where it grows tight against the bark. The plants are only about 1-2 mm wide but may grow to several centimeters in length. The leaves are dark green to reddish-brown or nearly black. Microscopy is necessary to distinguish Inflated Scalewort from other species of Frullania. The cells of the leaves of Inflated Scalewort are rounded with smooth walls.
Inflated Scalewort is most conspicuous on trees with gray bark like red maple, beech, holly and some oaks.
