Trapeliopsis glaucolepidea is a crustose lichen with a glaucous, granular thallus forming patches on soil and rock substrates. It inhabits open mineral soils, sandy heathlands, and disturbed ground in temperate and boreal European environments. This lichen colonizes bare acidic soils and contributes to early successional soil stabilization.
