Altitudinal distribution: montane belt (potential vegetation: deciduous forests dominated by Fagus sylvatica and closed coniferous forests with Picea abies)
Note: thallus and sporodochia as in C. flabelliformis, but basal cells of conidia not differentiated, branching of conidia two-dimensional, and branches shorter; on bark of trees; widespread in the Holarctic region, with a few records only from the Eastern Alps.
