Peltigera neckeri Hepp ex Müll. Arg.

Syn.: Peltigera polydactyloides auct.

Lichenised.

Substrate: calciferous soil, acidic soil (mostly on siliceous substrata), living mosses, bark, lignum

Altitudinal range: from the mesomediterranean belt (potential vegetation: evergreen broad-leaved forests dominated by Quercus ilex) 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: on soil and on terricolous, epiphytic and silicicolous mosses, with a wide altitudinal range, but most frequent in humid-warm beech forests; widespread throughout the Alps.
