Lichenised.

Substrate: bark, lignum, living mosses

Altitudinal range: from the montane belt (potential vegetation: deciduous forests dominated by Fagus sylvatica and closed coniferous forests with Picea abies) to the alpine belt (potential vegetation: treeless Alpine grasslands and tundras, to the lower limit of perennial snow and the equilibrium line of glaciers)

Note: a circumboreal-montane species found on the bark of conifers, especially near the base of the trunks, more rarely on lignum of decorticated trunks, with optimum in the upper montane and subalpine belts; widespread throughout the Alps.
