Habitat: On soil in woodland with deciduous trees or conifers (but see comments below).

Notes: Often interpreted as a robust montane species associated with conifers, but treated by Orton (1958) as a member of the C. anomalus complex from lowland sites (e.g. the New Forest) associated with deciduous trees. Sensu Orton apparently frequent and widespread throughout Britain.
