Ricasolia amplissima (Scop.) De Not. - cyanomorph

Syn.: Cornicularia umhausense Auersw., Dendriscocaulon bolacinum (Ach.) Nyl., Dendriscocaulon umhausense (Auersw.) Degel., Leptogium bolacinum (Ach.) Nyl., Polychidium umhausense (Auersw.) Henssen

Lichenised.

Substrate: bark

Altitudinal range: from the mesomediterranean belt (potential vegetation: evergreen broad-leaved forests dominated by Quercus ilex) to the montane belt (potential vegetation: deciduous forests dominated by Fagus sylvatica and closed coniferous forests with Picea abies)

Note: on bark of broad-leaved trees and on epiphytic mosses in warm-humid areas. This is the cyanobacterial morph of R. amplissima. Besides the obvious differences in morphology, it has a rather different ecology and distribution.
