Rank ReasonsPannaria conoplea is a circumpolar species. According to Thomson (1984), P. conoplea scarcely touches the northern edge of the boreal forest in North America. However, Nash and Ryan (1996) include the lichen in their checklist of Arizona lichens and it has been reported in North Carolina. In California, it is rather rare from the San Francisco Bay area northward to Sonoma and Trinity counties in the North Coast Ranges and in Plumas County on the western slopes of the Sierra Nevada.
Range Extent CommentsCircumpolar, boreal (Thomson 1984). Arizona (Nash and Ryan 1996). Also been reported in North Carolina, Alberta, and Ontario. In California, from the San Francisco Bay area northward to Sonoma and Trinity counties in the North Coast Ranges and in Plumas County on the western slopes of the Sierra Nevada (Hale 1988). Represented from high elevations in the Rocky Mountains, but mainly from low elevations in eastern North America (McCune and Goward 1995).
Ecology & Habitat
Habitat
Grows at the base of trees in mature woods (Hale 1979). Grows on soil and among mosses, in more southerly portions of the range also on tree trunks (Thomson 1984). Base of trees in Valley and Foothill Woodland from 300-600 m elevation (Hale 1988).
