Aspicilia cupreogrisea (Th. Fr.) Hue

Syn.: Circinaria cupreogrisea (Th. Fr.) A. Nordin, Savić & Tibell, Lecanora cupreogrisea Th. Fr.

Lichenised.

Substrate: siliceous rocks

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 siliceous rocks in the mountains; perhaps more widespread in the Alps.
