Generally quoted as a rare species with records scattered throughout England north to Cumberland. Associated with open woodland, wooded parkland and pasture where its fungal hosts occur, species quoted as hosts are Polyporus squamosus, Laetiporus sulphreus and Piptoporus betulinus, more especially where these are fruiting on dead or decaying Birch. Adults and larvae consume the fungus, pupation occurs within the fruiting body, the life cycle being completed within a year. Adults may occur in numbers within a single fungus. Despite our extensive searching of fungi in suitable local habitats the species has not been found in situ, however they have been attracted to M.V. light on several occasions.
