LICHALP

Acarospora badiofusca (Nyl.) Th. Fr. subsp. badiofusca

Syn.: Lecanora badiofusca Nyl.

Lichenised.

Substrate: siliceous rocks, intermediate rocks (such as calciferous schists)

Altitudinal range: from the montane belt (potential vegetation: deciduous forests dominated by Fagus sylvatica and closed coniferous forests with Picea abies) 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: an arctic-alpine to boreal-montane, circumpolar species of base-rich or lime-containing siliceous rocks, such as mica-schists and calciferous sandstone, found on faces wetted by rain, including stones near the ground in grasslands; widespread and locally common throughout the Alps.
