Lichenised.

Substrate: bark, lignum, plant debris, living mosses

Altitudinal range: from the mesomediterranean belt (potential vegetation: evergreen broad-leaved forests dominated by Quercus ilex) to the montane belt (potential vegetation: deciduous forests dominated by Fagus sylvatica and closed coniferous forests with Picea abies)

Note: a probably holarctic lichen, most common on acid bark, both of conifers and of broad-leaved trees, below the subalpine belt; widespread throughout the Alps, especially in non-heavily disturbed semi-natural areas with a humid climate.
