LICHALP

Fellhanera subtilis (Vězda) Diederich & Sérus.

Syn.: Arthonia subtilis (Vězda) Vězda, Bacidia subtilis Vězda

Lichenised.

Substrate: bark, living mosses

Altitudinal range: from the submediterranean/colline belt (potential vegetation: mixed deciduous forests dominated by Quercus and Carpinus) to the subalpine belt (potential vegetation: open, taiga-like forests dominated by Larix decidua and/or Pinus cembra and Rhododendron)

Note: on twigs of small shrubs (Vaccinium, Calluna), more rarely on mosses (e.g. Polytrichum) and on branches of Picea in cold sites, on north-facing slopes or in deep gorges, usually in upland areas; perhaps more widespread in the Alps.
