LICHALP

Chaenotheca laevigata Nádv.

Lichenised.

Substrate: bark

Altitudinal distribution: montane belt (potential vegetation: deciduous forests dominated by Fagus sylvatica and closed coniferous forests with Picea abies)

Note: a cool-temperate to southern boreal-montane lichen found in bark fissures of acid-barked deciduous and coniferous trees in humid forests, more rarely on lignum; probably overlooked and more widespread, but certainly never common in the Alps.
