Collection and habitat data. Habitat (outside of the study area). In NB, this species occurred in various forest types; hemlock forests, eastern white cedar swamps, red spruce and yellow birch forests, various mixed forests, a red oak forest, red pine forest, hardwood forests, and northern hardwood forests. Adults were found in various fungi, including fleshy polypore fungi, inside birch polypore ( Piptoporus betulinus (Bull.) Karst. ), gilled mushrooms, and decaying coral fungi. Some were found in compost (moldy corncobs and cornhusks, decaying vegetables) and inside a well rotted fungus-covered log. In NL, specimens from pitfall traps in boreal conifer forests. Collecting period. IV–X. Collecting method. Sifting fungi and litter, unbaited and carrion-baited pitfall traps, flight intercept traps.
