LICHALP

Rinodina conradii Körb.

Lichenised.

Substrate: bark, lignum, living mosses, acidic soil (mostly on siliceous substrata), 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 widespread, short-lived early coloniser of base-rich soil and terricolous bryophytes in open habitats, sometimes on mosses on basal parts of ancient trees, rarely lignicolous or corticolous.
