Lichenised.
Substrate: 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: on bark of old deciduous trees, more rarely on conifers, in very humid, open montane forests; a lichen which deserves further study.
