Habitat: On decayed (and usually decorticated) wood of deciduous trees and conifers, often growing on the cut faces of stacked trunks and logs, in woodland and plantations. Also known on discarded and decayed rope, carpets, matting, worked wood etc.
Notes: Occasional but widespread. Often split into several taxa on the basis of preferred substrata but specimens fall within the variation of a single species. Cultural studies (Sime & Petersen, 1999) have established the synonymy of several species considered distinct in BFF5.
