Non- or doubtfully lichenised.
Substrate: bark
Altitudinal distribution: montane belt (potential vegetation: deciduous forests dominated by Fagus sylvatica and closed coniferous forests with Picea abies)
Note: a non-lichenised species characterised by the large ascospores (45-60 × 15-20 µm) with various numbers of septa (usually 3-septate); on bark of broad-leaved trees (mainly Ilex); a rare species in old woodlands, mainly in Western Europe, with a few ancient records from the Eastern Alps (Austria and Italy), which however need confirmation.
