Threat ImpactLow
Range Extent>2,500,000 square km (greater than 1,000,000 square miles)
Number of Occurrences81 to >300
Rank ReasonsLarge range in Eurasia and North America, but sensitive to air pollution. Populations are small and somewhat restricted to humid habitats.
Range Extent CommentsKnown from Eurasia from the Iberian Peninsula (Barbero et al 1995) to China and the Russian Far East (Guseva et al 1993), and from North America. In North America, reported from coastal Alaska to Oregon, mainly in the Coast Ranges, not known east of the Cascades in the western United States, but rarely so in British Columbia (McCune and Geiser 1997). In the eastern U.S., the species is known from the Appalachian Mountains in NC (10 collections) and from WV. It has also been collected in Mexico.
Occurrences CommentsCommon in Europe (Brodo et al. 2001).
Threat Impact CommentsSporadic throughout its range (McCune & Geiser 1977); loss of a few individuals could mean loss of a whole population. Sensitive to air pollution (McCune & Geiser 1997).
Ecology & Habitat
Habitat
Grows on bark, mainly on Alnus rubra and other hardwoods, rarely on mossy rock, in moist riparian and valley bottom forests, especially older Alnus rubra stands over seepy or swampy ground (McCune and Geiser 1997).
