LICHALP

Lecidea turgidula Fr.

Syn.: Biatora turgidula (Fr.) Nyl., Lecidella turgidula (Fr.) Körb., Oedemocarpus turgidulus (Fr.) Trevis.

Lichenised.

Substrate: bark, lignum

Altitudinal range: from the submediterranean/colline belt (potential vegetation: mixed deciduous forests dominated by Quercus and Carpinus) 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: on hard lignum, more rarely on bark of conifers; the systematic position of this species is not clear: it certainly does not belong to Lecidea s.str.
