Lichenised.

Substrate: bark

Altitudinal range: from the mesomediterranean belt (potential vegetation: evergreen broad-leaved forests dominated by Quercus ilex) to the montane belt (potential vegetation: deciduous forests dominated by Fagus sylvatica and closed coniferous forests with Picea abies)

Note: a mainly mild-temperate, perhaps holarctic species, mainly found on bark along rivers and brooks; overlooked for a long time, but certainly widespread and locally common in the Alps.
