 Natural dispersal of "E. pedicellatum" is evidently possible within these old-growth forests, but there are no known examples of "E. pedicellatum" establishing in stands previously clear-cut.A healthy, mature specimen of "E. pedicellatum" can grow at a rate of 11 to 14 mm per year, and populations of this lichen have a generation time of about 30 years.The species sexually reproduces.
