Lichenised.

Substrate: bark

Altitudinal range: from the mesomediterranean belt (potential vegetation: evergreen broad-leaved forests dominated by Quercus ilex) to the submediterranean/colline belt (potential vegetation: mixed deciduous forests dominated by Quercus and Carpinus)

Note: a mild-temperate species with subtropical affinities, also reported from North America, locally abundant only - and strangely - at the base of the Western Alps (especially in Olea-plantations); C. carnopruinata, known from Liguria, is doubtfully distinct.
