Substrate: living mosses, plant debris,

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: a circumboreal-montane basidiolichen of wet mosses and peaty soil, more rarely found also on rotting wood in siliceous areas, with optimum near and above treeline.
