Rank Reasons
Pseudocyphellaria anomala occurs in North America in Canada and the United States from Alaska to California but is also found rarely as a disjunct inland to western Montana. The species can be common in large areas of its range.
Range Extent Comments
Pseudocyphellaria anomala occurs in low to mid elevation moist forests, and riparian areas. In the Pacific Northwest it is found in the Willamette Valley hardwood forests in oak savannas and ash swamps, and occasionally in mountain conifer forests. Its range spans from Alaska to California, west of the Cascades. It is also found rarely as a disjunct inland to western Montana (McCune and Geiser 1997).
Occurrences Comments
Based on NatureServe Network occurrence data, herbarium records, and photo-based observations, there are likely over 300 occurrences rangewide (GBIF 2022, NatureServe 2022).
