Lichenised.

Substrate: bark

Altitudinal range: from the montane belt (potential vegetation: deciduous forests dominated by Fagus sylvatica and closed coniferous forests with Picea abies) to the subalpine belt (potential vegetation: open, taiga-like forests dominated by Larix decidua and/or Pinus cembra and Rhododendron)

Note: a rare cool-temperate to boreal-montane, probably circumpolar lichen found on twigs and branches of acid-barked trees (especially conifers) and more rarely on lignum in very humid situations.
