Syn.: Collema ligerinum (Hy) Harm., Collema pulposum (Bernh.) Ach. var. ligerinum Hy, Collema verruculosum sensu Arnold

Lichenised.

Substrate: bark

Altitudinal range: from the submediterranean/colline belt (potential vegetation: mixed deciduous forests dominated by Quercus and Carpinus) to the montane belt (potential vegetation: deciduous forests dominated by Fagus sylvatica and closed coniferous forests with Picea abies)

Note: a mild-temperate species found on base-rich bark, especially of Juglans and Populus; more widespread in the past, but locally still common near small settlements in montane valleys of the Alps.
