LICHALP

Verrucaria fuscoatroides Servít

Lichenised. Poorly known taxon.

Substrate: calciferous rocks

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: an apparently rather widespread, but poorly understood species described from Germany and also reported from several localities in the Alps, mainly on calcareous rocks.
