LICHALP

Scoliciosporum perpusillum J. Lahm ex Körb.

Syn.: Bacidia perpusilla (J. Lahm ex Körb.) Th. Fr.

Lichenised.

Substrate: bark, siliceous rocks

Altitudinal range: from the submediterranean/colline belt (potential vegetation: mixed deciduous forests dominated by Quercus and Carpinus) to the montane belt (potential vegetation: deciduous forests dominated by Fagus sylvatica and closed coniferous forests with Picea abies)

Note: a mild-temperate, probably western species, generally found on acid bark, especially of conifers, but also on needles of Abies in damp montane forests; from the Alps there are so far a few scattered records only.
