Lichenised.
Substrate: acidic soil (mostly on siliceous substrata), plant debris, living mosses
Altitudinal range: from the submediterranean/colline belt (potential vegetation: mixed deciduous forests dominated by Quercus and Carpinus) to the subalpine belt (potential vegetation: open, taiga-like forests dominated by Larix decidua and/or Pinus cembra and Rhododendron)
Note: a cool-temperate to subarctic lichen found on mineral soil on track sides and in clearings of open forests and heaths, more rarely on rotting wood, in areas with siliceous substrata; several records from the Alps require re-confirmation.
