Trapeliopsis pseudogranulosa is a crustose lichen with a granular, pale grey-green thallus forming patches on acidic soil and peat in open habitats. It inhabits heathlands, disturbed acidic soils, and sandy bare ground in temperate and boreal European environments. This lichen contributes to biological soil crusts in open, acidic terrestrial habitats.
