Alectoria sarmentosa (Ach.) Ach.

Syn.: Alectoria cincinnata (Fr.) Lynge, Alectoria luteola Mont. ex De Not., Alectoria ochroleuca (Hoffm.) A. Massal. var. sarmentosa (Ach.) Nyl., Alectoria sarmentosa (Ach.) Ach. subsp. vexillifera (Nyl.) D. Hawksw., Alectoria vexillifera (Nyl.) Stizenb., Lichen sarmentosus Ach.

Lichenised.

Substrate: bark, lignum

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, probably circumpolar species found on branches, more rarely on trunks of (mainly) conifers in forests with frequent fog; in the Alps it was probably more common in the past, presently certainly declining, being very sensitive to forest management.
