LICHALP

Lecanora pannonica Szatala

Lichenised.

Substrate: siliceous rocks

Altitudinal range: from the submediterranean/colline belt (potential vegetation: mixed deciduous forests dominated by Quercus and Carpinus) to the subalpine belt (potential vegetation: open, taiga-like forests dominated by Larix decidua and/or Pinus cembra and Rhododendron)

Note: differing from L. caesiosora in the thallus of bullate areolae, with granular, bluish-grey to dark grey soredia in soralia usually located at the edge of the areoles, as well as in the presence of gangaleoidin; on hard siliceous rocks, in the Alps also on man-made substrata, especially on vertical faces, very much overlooked, or confused with other species.
