Habitat: On decayed wood of deciduous and less frequently coniferous trees, usually on large stumps, logs or fallen trunks. Sometimes appearing as if terrestrial but then found to be arising from buried wood.
Notes: Very common and widespread. An undescribed, possibly autonomous, vernal taxon, resembling C. micaceus in all aspects, but associated with an orange-brown Ozonium is increasingly collected, thus all collections of C. micaceus should be carefully examined to see if they are this latter taxon.
