In the high montane, rarely montane, high
precipitation sites on tough decayed (rarely
rather rotted) wood, on debarked conifer trunks
and stumps as well as on fence posts, boards or
sheds, rarely on the bark of conifers, in fir and
fir-spruce forests as well as on free-standing,
rather windy trunks, on moderately rainy to rain
protected, cool to cold habitats, r.-v.acidoph.,
r.phtotindiff., r.hygroph., anitroph., above all in

Ach.)
In the high montane, rarely montane, high
precipitation sites (only occasionally lower), on
trunks of conifer, rarely deciduous trees with acid
bark (thick barked oaks), preferably on spruce
and fir, also on wood, on rain protected flanks,
on cool to cold, v.humid, foggy habitats usually
in the interior of fir, fir-spruce and spruce-beech
forests and on the forest margins, r-v.acidoph.,

Introduction
The species rich genus worldwide numbering
about 500 species includes crustose lichens with
simple structure (sometimes endolithic) to highly
differentiated, marginally lobed, whitish, gray,
yellow to orange-red or almost black thallus and
usually yellow to red, rarely blackish apothecia
with thalloid or proper margins. Very
characteristic is the structure of the two- to very
rarely four-celled, ellipsoidal to elongate spores.
They commonly exhibit a thick dividing wall
bored through by a fine canal. The anthra-
