LICHALP

Lecania koerberiana J. Lahm

Syn.: Lecania opuntiae Bagl.

Lichenised.

Substrate: bark

Altitudinal range: from the submediterranean/colline belt (potential vegetation: mixed deciduous forests dominated by Quercus and Carpinus) to the montane belt (potential vegetation: deciduous forests dominated by Fagus sylvatica and closed coniferous forests with Picea abies)

Note: a mild-temperate and altogether rare species found on nutrient-rich or -enriched bark; closely related to L. fuscella, and in the past often confused with L. naegelii, to which some of the records may refer.
