Syn.: Lichen globosus Huds., Sphaerophorus coralloides Pers., Sphaerophorus globiferus (L.) DC.

Lichenised.

Substrate: siliceous rocks, acidic soil (mostly on siliceous substrata), bark

Altitudinal range: from the montane belt (potential vegetation: deciduous forests dominated by Fagus sylvatica and closed coniferous forests with Picea abies) to the subalpine belt (potential vegetation: open, taiga-like forests dominated by Larix decidua and/or Pinus cembra and Rhododendron)

Note: restricted to cold-humid areas, mostly on rocks, very rarely at the base of old boles in natural forests; widespread throughout the Alps but very rare and strongly declining, probably extinct in several regions.
