Notes.

Mycetophagus serrulatus Casey is newly recorded in New Brunswick. The species was reported from Nova Scotia by Dollin et al. (2008) (Fig. 1). Both specimens were found in coniferous forests, one on a polypore fungus growing on a white birch ( Betula papyrifera Marshall). Cline and Leshen (2005) recorded it from oyster mushroom ( Pleurotus ostreatus ).
