Schadonia fecunda (Th. Fr.) Vězda & Poelt

Syn.: Biatora socialis Hepp ex Körb. nom. inval., Diplotomma sociale (Körb.) Jatta, Lopadium fecundum Th. Fr., Lopadium sociale Körb.

Lichenised.

Substrate: plant debris, living mosses,

Altitudinal range: from the subalpine belt (potential vegetation: open, taiga-like forests dominated by Larix decidua and/or Pinus cembra and Rhododendron) 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 mainly arctic-alpine species found on mosses and plant remains over acid siliceous substrata; apparently rather rare in the Alps.
