Lichenised.

Substrate: bark, lignum

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: on bark and lignum of mature broad-leaved trees, often forming monospecific stands; in the Alps it is rare and probably declining.
