Mollisia ramealis is a small, grey to olive-grey disc fungus producing cup-shaped apothecia on dead herbaceous and woody plant material. It inhabits temperate forests and hedgerows across Europe, growing on dead twigs and stems. This saprotrophic ascomycete decomposes dead plant tissue in moist forest understory environments.
