Altitudinal distribution: montane belt (potential vegetation: deciduous forests dominated by Fagus sylvatica and closed coniferous forests with Picea abies)
Note: a species with an indistinct thallus, extremely tiny apothecia which are whitish when dry and translucent when moist, and minute, narrowly ellipsoid to rod-shaped, simple or 1-septate ascospores; on leaflets of moribund to dead Polytrichum; apparently widespread in Europe from the lowlands to the montane belt, with a single record from the Eastern Alps (Austria).
