Material examined
New Brunswick, Sunbury Co., Acadia Research Forest, 46.0188°N, 66.3796°W, 17.VIII.2007, R. P. Webster, mature red spruce and red maple forest, in decaying fleshy polypore fungi on standing dead spruce (1 ♂, AFC). Restigouche Co., vic. Summit Depot, 47.7836°N, 68.3227°W, 21.VII.2010, M. Turgeon & R. Webster, clear-cut, on decaying Climacodon septentrionale on dead (standing) yellow birch (1, RWC); Dionne Brook P.N.A. 47.9030°N, 68.3503°W, 9.VIII.2011, R. P. Webster, old-growth northern hardwood forest, on Climacodon septentrionale (Fr.) P. Karst. on sugar maple (2, RWC).
Collection and habitat data
Specimens of this species from New Brunswick were collected from a decaying fleshy polypore mushroom on a standing, dead spruce in a mature red spruce forest, from a decaying Climacodon septentrionale (Fr.) P. Karst. on a dead, standing yellow birch in a recent clearcut (boreal forest area), and from a (fresh) Climacodon septentrionale (Fr.) P. Karst. on a living sugar maple in an old-growth northern hardwood forest. Four individuals were collected in company with Lordithon niger (Gravenhorst) from a decaying fleshy polypore fungus on a standing, dead Populus sp. in a hardwood forest (sugar maple and American beech) in Saint-Raphaël (15.VII.2006), Quebec (Webster, unpublished). One specimen from Tennessee (USA) was sifted from leaf litter. Little was previously known about the habitat and biology of this rare species. Campbell (1973)[1] suggested that this species lived in some restricted habitat, such as mammal burrows. The habitat data above suggest that this species may be associated with decaying fleshy polypore or polypore-like fungi on standing dead and living trees. Adults were collected during July and August.
