LICHALP

Scoliciosporum schadeanum (Erichsen) Vězda

Syn.: Bacidia schadeana Erichsen

Lichenised.

Substrate: bark

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 species resembling S. pruinosum in the whitish, minute apothecia, but epihymenium lacking crystals and ascospores somewhat thicker; on bark of deciduous trees in humid forests along creeks; widespread in Europe but rarely collected, with a few records from the Eastern Alps only (Austria), but easy to overlook and perhaps more widespread in the Alps.
