Lichenised.
Substrate: lignum, 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: a cool-temperate to boreal-montane lichen found on decaying trunks and stumps in moist-shaded habitats such as ancient, undisturbed woodlands; when epiphytic, on basal parts of conifers; probably more widespread in the Alps.
