Collection and habitat data
Scaphisoma convexum was reported from a variety of Agaricales and Polyporales fungi in the Ozark Highland and was reared from the polypore Tyromyces (Leschen et al. 1990[1]). In New Brunswick, this species was collected from gilled mushrooms and from stalked polypore mushrooms on the forest floor. Adults were found in hardwood forests. One individual was captured in a Lindgren funnel trap in an old-growth white spruce and balsam fir forest. This species was collected during June, July, and September.
