8: on sandy-pebbly soil (GG; GA18). 12: on sandy-pebbly soil (GG; GA18). 15: on sandy-pebbly soil (GG; GA18). 19: on sandy-pebbly soil (GG; GA18).

Terricolous on sandy-pebbly soil in pioneer or disturbed situations, in dry grasslands and open Calluna heathlands. An overlooked species, maybe more widespread, reported as new to Italy from 4 sites in the Ticino river valley by Gheza et al. (2018). Without chemical analysis it can be easily confused with the morphologically similar Cladonia chlorophaea (which contains only fumarprotocetraric acid).
