Habitat: On standing or fallen trunks and large branches. Usually on Fagus but known on a wide range of deciduous trees in woodland, parkland and urban areas. Less common hosts include Buddleja variabilis, Gingko biloba, Laurus nobilis, Prunus spinosa, Pterocarya fraxinifolia, Rhododendron ponticum, Robinia pseudoacacia, Rosa longicuspis, Spiraea hypericifolia and Ulex europaeus. Also known on Araucaria araucana but reports from conifers are otherwise unverified.
Notes: Very common and widespread. Perhaps better known as G. adspersum. Often confused with G. applanatum thus records unsubstantiated with voucher material should be viewed with caution.
