Lecanora subcarnea (Lilj.) Ach.

Syn.: Lecanora ochrinaeta Ach., Lecanora pallescens A. Massal., Lecanora sordida (Pers.) Th. Fr. var. subcarnea (Lilj.) Th. Fr., Lecanora trevisanii A. Massal., Lichen subcarneus Lilj., Zeora subcarnea (Lilj.) Arnold

Lichenised.

Substrate: siliceous rocks

Altitudinal range: from the mesomediterranean belt (potential vegetation: evergreen broad-leaved forests dominated by Quercus ilex) to the alpine belt (potential vegetation: treeless Alpine grasslands and tundras, to the lower limit of perennial snow and the equilibrium line of glaciers)

Note: a mild-temperate to Mediterranean species found on steeply inclined to underhanging surfaces of siliceous rocks, mostly below the upper montane belt; widespread in the Alps, but generally not very common.
