LICHALP

Rinodina polysporoides Giralt & H. Mayrhofer

Lichenised.

Substrate: bark

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 temperate species found on smooth bark of trunks and branches of deciduous, more rarely of evergreen broad-leaved trees, especially Juglans and Fraxinus, but also Quercus; certainly more widespread in the Alps, at relatively low altitudes.
