LICHALP

Lecanora glaucolutescens Nyl.

Lichenised.

Substrate: siliceous rocks

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: a species with a granular to leprose, bluish-greenish to yellowish thallus reacting C+ orange and concolorous apothecia, based on a type from Portugal, on quartzitic rocks near the sea; apparently rare, the records from mid- to high elevations (Austria) are dubious.
