LICHALP

Rinodina obnascens (Nyl.) H. Olivier

Syn.: Lecanora obnascens Nyl.

Lichenised.

Substrate:

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: a Mediterranean-Atlantic lichen found on weakly inclined to horizontal surfaces of siliceous rocks wetted by rain, starting the life-cycle especially on Aspicilia intermutans, but sometimes on other lichens, e.g. Rhizocarpon-species. The records from Austria and Switzerland are highly questionable and need to be checked.
