Scoliciosporum umbrinum (Ach.) Arnold var. corticicolum (Anzi) Bagl. & Carestia (“corticolum” ex errore)

Syn.: Bacidia corticicola (Anzi) Dalla Torre & Sarnth., Bacidia holomelaena (Flörke) Anzi var. [“c”] corticicola Anzi, Bacidia umbrina (Ach.) Bausch var. corticicola (Anzi) Bausch (“corticola” ex errore), Scoliciosporum corticicola (Anzi) Arnold (“corticolum”)

Lichenised. Poorly known taxon.

Substrate: bark

Altitudinal range: from the submediterranean/colline belt (potential vegetation: mixed deciduous forests dominated by Quercus and Carpinus) to the subalpine belt (potential vegetation: open, taiga-like forests dominated by Larix decidua and/or Pinus cembra and Rhododendron)

Note: a name applied to corticolous populations of a Scoliciosporum with the hymenial characters of S. umbrinum, namely the fasciculate, twisted ascospores; the taxonomic value is uncertain; mostly on branches of various trees including conifers (Larix), in the Alps from the lowlands to the subalpine belt.
