Lichenised.

Substrate: calciferous rocks

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 mild-temperate calcicolous species, often found on man-made substrata; in the past confused with L. erysibe or L. turicensis, and perhaps more widespread in the Alps.
