Habitat: On decayed wood of conifers, rarely deciduous trees such as Betula, Fagus and Quercus spp.

Notes: Very common and widespread but species limits are still unclear. Some authors also include G. stabilis and G. sapineus in the synonymy of this species, whilst recent research suggests that G. hybridus sensu auct. may be distinct (Holec, pers. comm.).
