Members of this genus are associated with polypore species on old logs (Newton et al. 2001). In New Brunswick,Toxidium gammaroides was found in mature hardwood forests and in a mixed forest. Adults were collected from a group of Pholiota sp. on the base of a dead standing American beech and in polypore fungi under bark. Adults were also captured in Lindgren funnel traps. This species was collected during June, July, and September.
