Lichenised.

Substrate: bark, lignum

Altitudinal range: from the mesomediterranean belt (potential vegetation: evergreen broad-leaved forests dominated by Quercus ilex) to the subalpine belt (potential vegetation: open, taiga-like forests dominated by Larix decidua and/or Pinus cembra and Rhododendron)

Note: a temperate to southern boreal-montane, perhaps circumpolar early coloniser of the smooth bark of deciduous trees, often found on twigs and branches, with a broad ecological amplitude; widespread throughout the Alps.
