LICHALP

Lecanora subcarpinea Szatala

Lichenised.

Substrate: bark

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 taxon of the L. carpinea-group with thallus and apothecial margins reacting Pd+ intensely yellow to orange, found on smooth bark of well-lit deciduous trees, including branches and twigs, mostly at low altitudes; not always distinguished, and hence distribution insufficiently known, but apparently widespread in the Alps.
