Description

Glischrochilus confluentus (Say, 1823)

Carleton Co.: Jackson Falls, Bell Forest, 46.2200°N, 67.7231°W, 4-12.VI.2008, R.P. Webster, rich Appalachian hardwood forest, Lindgren funnel trap, (1, RWC).

Glischrochilus confluentus has been recorded in Canada from Ontario, Québec, and Nova Scotia (McNamara 1991; Majka and Cline 2006), and in the United States south to Georgia, west through Missouri, Michigan and Wisconsin, to Colorado and Nevada (Parsons 1943; Price and Young 2006). In Nova Scotia the species was found on bark of a dying trembling aspen (Populus tremuloides). Price and Young (2006) found it associated with oak (Quercus sp.), on moist decaying fungi, and on chicken of the woods (Laetiporus sulphureus (Fr.) Murr., Polyporaceae).
