A species characterised by its prominent, white, well-delimited thallus. It occurs on vertical to overhanging, both intrusive and extrusive igneous rocks, usually in Ca-enriched places.

Lepraria nylanderiana is a rare termophilous lichen, known only from a limited number of localities in Europe. Less than thirty localities are known from the Czech Republic.
