Descripción:
Picture taken on the 24th March 2007 near Santa Creu d'Oloda, Barcelona, on schists, aprox. 300 m. altitude.
Cosmopolite lichen, wide European distribution, loving temperate climates, appearing mainly near the coast. In Catalonia, it is frequent in the littoral range of mountains. Saxicolous, on soil, on acid substrates. Normally under Quercus ilex or Quercus suber.
It is an imperfect lichen (Hypholichens), forming powdery crusts.
Saxicolous, crustose-leprose lichen, forming green powdery crusts. Thallus with whitish pseudopodetia covered by the leprose granules of yellow-green colour, up to 7 mms high.
Verds i blaus (o grisos ?) per aquests líquens, combinacions inacababes de tons de colors pel mon dels líquens. Fascinació pel fotògraf, fascinació pel naturalista.
